Tom: Em

    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
