Cm G# Gm Cm
Hey little songbird give me a song
Cm G# Bb G
I'm a busy man and I can't stay long
Cm G# Eb G7
I got clients to call I got orders to fill
Cm G# Eb G
I got walls to build I got riots to quell
Cm G# G
And they're giving me hell back in Hades
[Verse]
Cm G# Gm Cm
Hey little songbird cat got your tongue
Cm G# Bb G
Always a pity for one so pretty and young
Cm G# Eb G
When poverty comes to clip your wings
Cm G# Eb G
And knock the wind right out of your lungs
Cm G# G
Hey nobody sings on empty
[Chorus]
(EURYDICE)
Eb Bb Eb
Strange is the call of this strange man
Eb Cm C# Cm
I want to fly down and feed at his hand
Eb Bb G
I want a nice soft place to land
Eb G Cm
I wanna lie down forever
(hey..)

(..Hey) little songbird you got something fine
Cm G# Bb G
You'd shine like a diamond down in the mine

Cm G# Eb G7
And the choice is yours if you're willing to choose
Cm G# Eb G
Seeing as you've got nothing to lose
Cm G# G
And I could use a canary
[Chorus]
(EURYDICE)
Eb Bb Eb
Suddenly nothing is as it was
Eb Cm C# Cm
Where are you now Orpheus
Eb Bb G
Wasn't it always the two of us
Eb G Cm
Weren't we birds of a feather

Cm G# Gm Cm
Hey little songbird let me guess
Cm G# Bb G
He's some kind of poet and he's penniless
Cm G# Eb G7
Give him your hand he'll give you his hand-to-mouth
Cm G# Eb G
He'll write you a poem when the power's out
Cm G# G
Hey why not fly south for the winter
Cm G# Gm Cm
Hey little songbird look all around you
Cm G# Bb G
See how the vipers and vultures surround you
Cm G# Eb G7
They'll take you down they'll pick you clean
Cm G# Eb G
If you stick around such a desperate scene
Cm G# G N.C.
See people get mean when the chips are down
