Intro:
C F G G x2
Verse 1:
C F G
Here we see the Bearded Cardinal
C F G
in his native habitat -Welcome to the Walmart parking lot
C F G
Coolin' off, beneath the shade
C F G
of a '92 Cadillac -Could life get any better?
Bridge(One hit and strum before change):
Am
But there's a sad truth
Em
like a flower that won't blossom
Dm
he'll never do the one thing
Am
that makes being a bird awesome...
Am
Unlike his bird brethren
Em
traversing the sky
Dm Knock guitar 3 times
the Bearded Cardinal
Am
will never fly...
Verse 3(Steve talking):
STOP
-Excuse me,I'm sorry, I couldn't help but overhear
did you say I can't fly?
-Yeah.
-You're the Bearded Cardinal,
a flightless bird.
-You know what?I'm cool with that.In fact, I see it as a positive!
I want to sing about it...
Verse 4(Hit Every chord 4 times):
C
I got a big beak
F
feathers on fleek
G
I keep cool in the heat by
C
flapping my vestigial wings.
C
I'm down to Earth,
F
In fact I hate heights.
G
Who needs working wings
C
when you're this fly?
C
I regurgitate meals
F
into my kids/ mouths...
G
I never get sucked into a jet
C
or hit the side of a house...
C
Here comes a shopping cart
F
at a pretty high speed
G
If I was a bettin' bird
C
I'd bet the carts about to hit me...
Outro(Hit every chord once and let it fade):
Am
Ohhhhhh -It did
Em
Ohhhhhh -It hurts
Dm
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Am
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
ohhh
ohh
I'm dead.
-Oh man, I think he is dead....
-He couldn't fly, but he's a pretty good lip syncer.
