The Bird And The Worm Tab uke di Owl City

The Bird and the Worm - Owl City

Note: These chords are designed for a soprano ukulele.
F* indicates a modified F chord, which looks like this:

A -3-
E -1-
C -0-
G -2-

The strumming pattern that I use for this song is as follows:
D(palm mute) DUD(palm mute)

Chords shown at the beginning of a line may need to be played
just before the lyric, to preserve syncopation.



VERSE ONE:



C             G
If You're The Bird,
Am              F
Whenever we pre-tend it's summer,
     C       G
Then I'm the worm,
Am                    F
I know the part, it's such a bummer,
    C       G
But fair is fair,
Am                 F
If my segments get separated,
C          G
I'll scream
            F
& you'll be there.


C          G
Close your eyes (Close my eyes),
Am                   F
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder,
    C        G
And feel the shine (feel the shine),
Am            F
I'm hooked so toss me over,
    C      G
And cast a line (oh I'll try),
   Am                F                 C                    G
Oh throw a party and greet my undersea friends (it depends),
           F     
As they ar-rive (if they arrive),



CHORUS:



C       G          F
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind),
C           G                  F
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
    C      G                        F              F*
For all my pals who live in all the oceans and the seas,
C                 G           F
With friends like these well, who needs enemies?

VERSE TWO:



   C        G
If I'm your boy,
Am                    F
Let's take a shortcut we remember,
C            G
And we'll en-joy,
Am                F
Pickin' apples in late September
C          G
Like we've done for years,
Am                          F
Then we'll take a long walk through the corn field,
C                 G            F
And I'll kiss you, between the ears,


   C         G
If you're my girl,
Am                   F
Swirl me around your room with feeling,
    C     G    
And as we twirl, 
    Am                     F   
the glow-in-the-dark stars on your ceiling,
     C         G
Will shine for us,
Am                      F
As love sweeps over the room,
                 C         G     F
Cause we tend to make each other blush (you make me blush)



CHORUS:



C       G          Am              F
You and I left our troubles far be-hind (troubles far behind),
    C       G                  Am             F
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
C          G                        Am              F*
For all my pals who live in all the oceans and the seas,
C                G           F
With fronds like these well, who needs anenomes?
