Bird Jesus

Verse 1:
 
       A 
I was floatin’ on the sea, when out of nowhere; 
   A 
a head popped up from the water, couldn’t help but stare 
          D 
He was a daffy motherfucker, floatin’ on the water; 
        A 
and I caught the next wave and didn’t think about it further. 
         E 
When I turned back around, and paddled out back 
          D                                           D7 
He was a splishin’ and splashin’ like he was takin’ a bath! 

 
             A 
O hey there bird!  Swimmin’ with me 
             A 
O hey there bird! Out in the sea 
D 
Sharks and the jellies got no problem with me 
                A 
Out here we’re free!  Whooooooaaah 
E                 D     D7 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohh

Verse 2:
         A 
So, it wasn’t very long until I realized, 
      A 
this bird couldn’t swim; I could see it in his eyes. 
      D                                                   A 
So, I paddled on over, slid my board under, and he hopped on. 
E 
Hang on brother, we’re headed in, 
        D                            D7 
Just a few more minutes, you’ll be flying in the wind!! 

 
             A 
O hey there bird!  Swimmin’ with me 
             A 
O hey there bird! Out in the sea 
D 
Sharks and the jellies got no problem with me 
                A 
Out here we’re free!  Whooooooaaah 
E                 D     D7 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohh 


Verse 3:
 
A 
Waves passing under; things are goin’ smooth. 
A 
Where the waves break, we’re comin’ up to and a 
D 
Big peak is comin’, better hold on tight; 
A 
‘cause we’re catching a ride, or an unexpected flight! 
          E 
But if we beat the odds, and make it back in, 
       D                           D7 
we can hang on the beach until you fly again! 


             A 
O hey there bird!  Swimmin’ with me 
             A 
O hey there bird! Out in the sea 
D 
Sharks and the jellies got no problem with me 
                A 
Out here we’re free!  Whooooooaaah 
E                 D     D7 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohh 


Verse 4:
 
A 
Cruised past the breakers now we’re walking on shore; 
     A 
I’m strolling on the beach with this bird up on my board. 
        D                                                A 
People lookin’ at us like they’ve, never seen a surfing fowl! 
     E 
And dryin’ his feathers, safely on shore 
D                                 D7 
Quoth that thankful raven, “I’ll surf nevermore!” 


             A 
O hey there bird!  Swimmin’ with me 
             A 
O hey there bird! Out in the sea 
D 
Sharks and the jellies got no problem with me 
                A 
Out here we’re free!  Whooooooaaah 
E                 D     D7 
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Ohh
