Introdução: Am F Am 
 
         Am                          C 
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail 
                                    Am         F     Am 
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would 
                                   C 
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail 
                                             Am       F         Am 
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would.  Hum, hum, hum 
  F 
Away, I'd rather sail away 
        C                   Am 
Like a swan that's here and gone 
   F    
A man gets tied up to the ground 
               C                Am 
He gives the world its saddest sound 
     G        Am       G Am 
Its saddest sound 
    Am                           C 
I'd rather be a forest than a street 
                                   Am      F    Am 
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would 
                                      C 
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet 
                                        Am     F Am G Am 
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
