Hey there. This is my first tab just fyi, but I think it's accurate.
I heard this song and loved it, but I couldn't find the tab anywhere!
So... This is the first part of the song. The second part is strumming
what I think are the same cords. If I messed up then let me know!
Enjoooy. Please post any corrections.

You just repeat that pattern for the first part of the song.

Here are the lyrics from
http://www.lyrics.com/bread-lyrics-yellow-ostrich.html

1st part

To go away for quite a while
If that is what would make you smile
It's something I would gladly do
Because i am in love with you
To go without a piece of bread
Because of something that I said
If that is what it's going to take
Then that is what it's going to take
(x2)

2nd part

Brother won't you sing a song for me
Sing along and then follow me
Take your chance to bring your news to me
Tell me how she'd look if I could see
(x2)
