#1 .
C
take away the trees and the birds

all have to sit upon the ground , uum .

take away their wings and
G
the birds will have to walk to get around .
C
and take away the bird baths ,
F
and dirty birds will soon be everywhere .
D
take away their feathers and
G
the birds will walk around in underwear .

#2 .
C
take away their chirp and the

birds will have to whisper when they sing .

and take away their common sense and
G
they’ll be headed southward in the spring .

chorus :
C
oh , remember me my darling , when spring is in the air ,
F
and the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere .
G
you can see them walking southward in their dirty underwear ,
C
it’s the tennessee bird walk .

#3 .
C
how about some trees so the birds won’t have to sit upon

the ground? uum .

how about some wings so the birds won’t have to walk
G
to get around .
C
and how about a bird bath or two so the birds will
F
all be clean?
D
how about some feathers so their underwear no longer
G
can be seen?
C
how about a chirp so the birds won’t have to whisper

when they sing .

and how about some common sense so they won’t be blocking
G
traffic in the spring?

chorus :
C
oh , remember me my darling , when spring is in the air ,
F
and the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere .
G
you can see them walking southward in their dirty underwear ,
C
it’s the tennessee bird walk . ( last line x3 . )
