Tom: A5

         A5                          C5
1. I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,
                                       A5     - F5 - A5
    yes I would, if I could, I surely would.
                                   C5
    I'd rather be a hammer than a nail,
                                             A5    F5 - A5
    yes I would, if I only could, I surely would.  m  m
      F5
    Away, I'd rather sail away,
             C5                   A5
    like a swan that's here and gone.
       F5   
    A man gets tied up to the ground,
                   C5                A5
    he gives the world its saddest sound,
         G5        A5       - G5 - A5
    its saddest sound.
        A5                           C5
2. I'd rather be a forest than a street,
                                       A5     - F5 - A5
    yes I would, if I could, I surely would.
                                          C5
    I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
                                            A5    - F5 - A5 - G5 - A5
    Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would.
