[Verse]
Em G
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Em
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
Hmm G
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Em
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Hmm
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
Em
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
G
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Em C G C G Em
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
