[Verse]
Oh, I could [G] hide 'neath the w [Am] wings
Of the [Bm] bluebird as she [C] sings
The [G] six-o-clock a [Em] larm
would never [A7] ring [D7]
But it [G] rings and I [Am] rise
Wash the [Bm] sleep out of my [C] eyes
My [G] shaving [Em] razor's [Am] cold
[D7] and it stings [G]

Without [Bm] dollar one to [C] spend
But [G] how much [Em] baby [Am] do we
[D7] really need [G]
