C
There was house halfway round the world
Am
And I was invited in for a small taste of gin
D
There was a hallway a thousand birds long
F                                            F
But the biggest one of all was in a cage too small

C
I asked the caretaker cause he was the Maker
Am
Looked at me and laughed took another sip from his glass and said
D
Open up your ears and heart
F                                                       C
You 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
The sound of the bird that mourns

Am   D   F    F

C
Well we rolled into town, into sweet New Orleans
Am
To the Apple Bell bar there was a hole in the wall
D
The ceilings weren't tall, the floors were the ground
F                                                      F
but the sound that you would make would just warm your heart

C
Well it was a quarter to twelve when the boys walked in
Am
They got their blacksuits on andthe songs would begin
D
You open up your ears and heart
F                                                       C
You 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
