Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I'd rath-er be a spar-row than a snail

Yes I would, if I could, I sure-ly would, hmm...

Verse 2

I'd rath-er be a ham-mer than a nail

Yes I would, if I only could...

I sure-ly would, hmm...

Chorus

Away, I'd rather sail a-way...

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world it's saddest-sound

It's saddest sound

Verse 3

I'd rather be a forest than a street

Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

Verse 4

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet

Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

Chorus

Away, I'd rather sail a-way...

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world it's saddest-sound

It's saddest sound

FADING INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
