[Verse 1]
G
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Em
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
Hmm-mmmmm

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Em
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Hmm-mmmmm

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

He gives the world it's saddest sound
Em
It's saddest sound, hmm-mmmmm

I'd rather be a forest than a street
