|Em                        |G 
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail

     | 
Yes I would.

    |
If I could,

        |Em       |
I surely would, Hm-m

   |                         |G               
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.

     |
Yes I would.

         |
If I only could,

        |Em       |
I surely would, Hm-m


     |C               |
Away, I'd rather sail away

      |G                   |
Like a swan that's here and gone

 |C                      |
A man gets tied up to the ground,

            |G
He gives the world

           |
Its saddest sound

           |Em   |  |
Its saddest sound


    |                         |G
 I'd rather be a forest than a street

     |G
Yes I would.

    |
If I could,

        |Em
I surely would.


    |                                |G
 I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet


     |
Yes I would.

         |
If I only could,

        |Em       |
I surely would, Hm-m
