{comment: Verse 1}
They [C]bought a [G7]round for the [C]sailor 
and they [F]heard his [G7]tale
of a [C]world that was [C7]so far a[F]way
and a [G7]song that we'd [C]never [F]heard 
a [G7]song of a [C]little [F]bird
that fell in [G7]love with a [C]whale

{comment: Verse 2}
He said, 'You cannot [G7]live in the [C]ocean
and she [F]said to [G7]him
you [C]never can [C7]live in the [F]sky
but the [G7]ocean is [C]filled with [F]tears
and the [G7]sea turns [C]into a [F]mirror
there's a [G7]whale in the [C]moon when it's [F]clear
and a [G7]bird on the [C]tide

[C]Please [C7]don't [F]cry 
let me [Dm]dry [F]your [G7]eyes
so [C]tell me [G7]that you will [C]wait for me
[C7]hold me [F]in your [G7]arms
I [C]promise we [C7]never will part [F]
I'll [G7]never sail [C]back to the [F]time
but I'll [G7]always pre[C]tend you're [F]mine
though I [G7]know that we [C]both must [F]part
you can [G7]live in my [C]heart
