1. I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
                                    Emi
   yes I would if I could I surely would
                                  G
   I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
                                         Emi
   yes I would if I only could I surely would.

     C
R: Away I'd rather sail away
            G
   like a swan that's here and gone
      C
   a man gets tied up to the ground
                 G                                   Emi
   he gives the world its saddest sound its saddest sound.

2. I'd rather be a forest than a street
   yes I would if I could I surely would
   I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
   yes I would if I only could I surely would.
