by Patrick Watson

Recorded in the Key of C#
Put that capo on the first fret!


C   Am   D   F   F

CThere was house halfway round the world
AmAnd I was invited in for a small taste of gin
DThere was a hallway a thousand birds long
F FBut the biggest one of all was in a cage too small
CI asked the caretaker cause he was the Maker
AmLooked at me and laughed took another sip from his glass and said
DOpen up your ears and heart
F CYou put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song
F F CThat we all love to sing along to
F F CThe sound of the bird that mourns
Am D F F C Am D F F
CWell we rolled into town, into sweet New Orleans
AmTo the Apple Bell bar there was a hole in the wall
DThe ceilings weren't tall, the floors were the ground
F Fbut the sound that you would make would just warm your heart
CWell it was a quarter to twelve when the boys walked in
AmThey got their blacksuits on andthe songs would begin
DYou open up your ears and heart
F CYou put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song
F F C That we all love to sing along to
F F C EmThe sound of the bird that mourns
F F C Em
F F C EmThe sound of the bird that mourns
F F C GThe sound of the bird that mourns
F F C The sound of the bird that mourns
Am D F F
F CYou put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song
F CYou put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song
F CYou put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song
F CYou put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song
