Big Bird In A Small Cage by Patrick Watson Recorded in the Key of C# Put that capo on the first fret! There was house halfway round the world And I was invited in for a small taste of gin There was a hallway a thousand birds long But the biggest one of all was in a cage too small I asked the caretaker cause he was the Maker Looked at me and laughed took another sip from his glass and said Open up your ears and heart You put big bird in small cage and it’ll sing you song That we all love to sing along to The sound of the bird that mourns Well we rolled into town into sweet New Orleans To the Apple Bell bar there was a hole in the wall The ceilings weren’t tall the floors were the ground but the sound that you would make would just warm your heart Well it was a quarter to twelve when the boys walked in They got their blacksuits on andthe songs would begin You open up your ears and heart You put big bird in small cage and it’ll sing you song That we all love to sing along to The sound of the bird that mourns The sound of the bird that mourns The sound of the bird that mourns The sound of the bird that mourns You put big bird in small cage and it’ll sing you song You put big bird in small cage and it’ll sing you song You put big bird in small cage and it’ll sing you song You put big bird in small cage and it’ll sing you song
