Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
G chordG E7 chordE7 A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
Life is skittles and life is beer.
G chordG D7 chordD7 G chordG D7 chordD7 G chordG
I think the loveliest time of the year is the
spring.
E7 chordE7 A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
I do, Dont you? Course you do.
Am chordAm G chordG
But theres one thing that makes spring complete for me,
A7 chordA7 D chordD D7 chordD7
And makes every Sunday a treat for me.

G chordG
All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
D7 chordD7
When were poisoning pigeons in the park.
Am chordAm
Every Sunday youll see
My sweetheart and me,
D7 chordD7 G chordG
As we poison the pigeons in the park.

C chordC G chordG
When they see us coming, the birdies all try anhide,
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
G chordG
The suns shining bright,
Everything seems all right,
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7 G chordG
When were poisoning pigeons in the park.

D7 chordD7
Weve gained notoriety,
G chordG
And caused much anxiety
D7 chordD7
In the Audubon Society
G chordG
With our games.
E7 chordE7
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
A chordA
Of unpleasant names.
A7 chordA7 D chordD
But its not against any religion
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

D7 chordD7 G chordG
So if Sunday youre free,
Why dont you come with me,
D7 chordD7
And well poison the pigeons in the park.

Am chordAm
And maybe well do
In a squirrel or two,
D7 chordD7 G chordG
While were poisoning pigeons in the park.

C chordC G chordG
Well murder them all amid laughter and merriment,
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
Ex cept for the few we take home to experiment.
G chordG
My pulse will be quikenin
With each drop of strychnine
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
We feed to a pigeon.
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7
It just takes a smidgen!
A7 chordA7 D7 chordD7 G chordG D7 chordD7 G chordG
To poison a pigeon in the park.

Think I noticed a dodgy note half way through but nothing that couldn't be improvised over. Great stuff!!
