THE SONG

Am/E       Dm9/F         Amb5           Dm9/F
Early each day    to the steps of Saint Paul's

    Am/E       Dm9/F      Am      ___   
The little old bird woman comes

       Am/E        Dm9/F         Amb5       Dm9/F
In her own special way    to the people she calls,

 Am/E         E7           Am       ___
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs;




G7            ___
Come feed the little birds,

C             ___
Show them you care

G7            ___         C      Cmaj7#5
And you'll be glad if you do........




      Am/E           Dm9/F         Amb5         Dm9/F
Their young ones are hungry, Their nests are so bare

       Am       E7            Am       G
All it takes is tuppence from you.......




C        Em     F          C/E
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag

F         C/E       D7         G
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag

C        Em      F               C
Feed the birds," that's what she cries

                                    1     2    -Pause-    3      
F           C/E       G              C                     E7
While over--head, her birds fill the skies                 All a-




 Am            E7          Am            E7
-round the ca--thedral the saints and a--postles

     Am          E7        Am    ___
Look down as she sells her wares

    C                G
Al--though you can't see it,

    C             G
You know they are smiling

     C            E7            Am        G
Each time someone shows that he cares......




C          Em        F/C        C/G
Though her words are simple and few

F       C/E           D7         G
Listen, listen, she's calling to you

C         Em     F          E7
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag

F         D7add9/F#    G          C
Tuppence, tuppence,    tuppence a bag"




Instrumental ('all around the cathedral...')

Am   E7   Am   E7

NOTES

Any time you see this ___ it means another bar playing the same chord.

If you don't feel like playing the coda where it briefly changes key to Ab 
(Concert D) major, then just finish by playing a C on 'bag' and no one will 
know the difference.

Please don't forget to rate, and if you've spotted something that I haven't 
then leave a comment.
