Paul Simon

I'd r ^Em ather be a sparrow than a s ^G nail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely w ^Em ould
^Bmm I'd rather be a hammer than a n ^G ail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely w ^Em ould
Aw ^C ay, I'd rather sail away
Like a sw ^G an that's here and gone
A m ^C an gets tied up to the ground
He gives the w ^G orld its saddest sound
Its saddest s ^Em ound
I'd rather be a forest than a st ^G reet
Yes I would, if I could, I surely w ^Em ould
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my f ^G eet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely w ^Em ould ^{C G C G Em}
