D G D/F# Em D G A G A

[Verse 1]

D             A
Sittin' in the morning sun
   Bm               G             D
And watching all the birds passing by
      A 
Oh how sweet they sing
   Bm          G                   D
And oh how much I wish that I could fly

[Pre-Chorus]

     A             G
And I try, I said I try
 A             G 
I try, I really try try try

[Chorus]

             D          G
But I got to Pick myself up
D          G    D         G     D      G   
Dust myself off, start all over, again 
         D          G
I got to Pick myself up
D          G    D         G     D      G   
Dust myself off, start all over, again 

[Verse 2]

D             A
Sittin' in the midday sun
   Bm                 G             D
And wondering where my meal's coming from
                A
After working so hard
   Bm            G            D
Not even piece of bread at the yard

[Pre-Chorus]

          A              G
And I said try, Oh lord I try
 A             G 
I try, I really try try try

[Chorus]

             D          G
But I got to Pick myself up
D          G    D         G     D      G   
Dust myself off, start all over, again 
         D          G
I got to Pick myself up
D          G    D         G     D      G   
Dust myself off, start all over, again 

[Verse 3]

D             A
Sittin' in the evening sun
   Bm                G             D
And watching the same birds passing by
           A
Sittin' and wondering
   Bm              G              D
And waiting for the time for me to fly

[Pre-Chorus]

      A          G
And I try, said I try
           A             G 
Good lord I try, I really try try try

[Chorus]

             D          G
But I got to Pick myself up
D          G    D         G     D      G   
Dust myself off, start all over, again 
         D          G
I got to Pick myself up
D          G    D         G     D      G   
Dust myself off, start all over, again 
D          G
So long and I just find
D            G
It was just a waste of time
D          G
So long and I just find
D                  G
I been been wasting all my time
           D           G
I've got to pick myself up...
