| Cm | Eb | I’d | rather be a sparrow than a | snail |
|
| Cm | Yes I would, if I could, I surely | would |
|
|
| Eb | I’d rather be a hammer than a | nail |
|
| Cm | Yes I would, if I only could, I surely | would |
|

|
| Ab | A | way, I’d rather sail away |
|
| Eb | Like a | swan that’s here and gone |
|
| Ab | A | man gets tied up to the ground |
|
| Eb | He gives the | world its saddest sound |
|

|
| Eb | I’d rather be a forest than a | street |
|
| Cm | Yes I would, if I could, I surely | would |
|
| Eb | I’d rather feel the earth beneath my | feet |
|
| Cm | Yes I would, if I only could, I surely | would |
