 Sadly droopin' it's perfumed head.

I know what you'll miss.

 There is the hat you made,

The clothes you wore;

 Lying down on the cold dirty floor.

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

 There's a shadow where you once lay.

Cmaj7               Fmaj7
 They'll find it to-morrow,

And think you went a-lone.

Oh there's a hummingbird, crying.
