          C              Em
There's a yellow flower, by your bed;

 Sadly drooping it's perfumed head.

And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,
  C              F
A hummingbird, A hummingbird.

Oh there's a hummingbird, singing.

Verse 2:

There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore;
F                  C
 Lying down on the cold dirty floor.

Cmaj7            Fmaj7           G             Fmaj7
 The colours are fading; they'll never shine a-gain.

 There's a shadow where you once lay.

Cmaj7               Fmaj7       G                Fmaj7
 They'll find it to-morrow, and think you went a-lone.
