Am            Dm          F              E
  Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's,
       Am         E         Am
 the little old bird woman comes.
        Am          Dm           F            E
 In her own special way to the people she calls,
   Am            E            Am
 "Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.

   G                         C
Come feed the little birds, show them you care,
  G                       C   - E
and you'll be glad if you do.
       Am               Dm          F             E
Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare,
       Am         E           Am - G
all it takes is tuppence from yo…….u."

C          Em     F        C
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
 F         C         D7         G
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
 C          Em     F               C
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
F          C        G                C     E
while overhead, her birds fill the skies.
 
      Am          E           Am          E
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
     Am           E          Am
look down as she sells her wares.
     C              G            C             G
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling,
      C            E           Am - G
each time someone shows that he cares.

 C         Em         F          C
Though her words are simple and few,
 F        C           D7           G
listen, listen, she's calling to you:
 C         Em     F          E
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
 F        Dm        F        G  C    E
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."

Though her words are simple and few,
