A   Am7   C   D  Dm  E  Am


[Verse 1]
A           Am7   C             D
I watched a bird, caught yester-day,
Dm            E          Am
Poor bird had no time to run.
D           Dm              A
Crept up on him, fresh easy prey,
    Amaj7          Am7          Esus4   E
The cats out there still having fun.


[Verse 2]
A         Am7    C            D
I saw the bird , couldn’t get free,
Dm            E           Am
Caught by the cats deadly claws.
D             Dm                 A
Should I have heard, nearly dead bird,
Amaj7       Am7           Esus4   E
Help him es-cape from the jaws.


[Refrain 1]
A           Am7
Don’t you a-gree,
D                        A
All have the right to be free.
     A            Am7
It’s natural, you see,
D                    A
Nature is Queen over me.
     C         D          A
Only one above nature for me.


[Verse 3]
A          Am7      C             D
When I was young, a-lone peaceful-ly,
Dm             E         Am7
A nest holding eggs in a pine.
D          Dm                  A
Started to climb, evil pricked me,
Amaj7               Am7          Esus4    E
Crushed those eggs, scrambled in time.


[Refrain 2]
A                   Am7
My heart mourned in me,
D                          A
They had their right to be free.
    A              Am7
I’m natural that’s me,
D                    A
Nature is queen over me.
     C         D          A
Only one above nature for me.


[Coda]
     C         D          A
Only one above nature for me.
