Am                          Emaj7
Little weaver bird, sitting sadly in the tree,
Dm                      Am
Take my good advice and forget your misery.
Amaj7                             Gm
Your tears are all in vain and regret can be absurd.
Amaj7                Emaj7
Little weaver bird, get weaving.

[Verse 2]
Am                          Emaj7
The year is going by, and the season's getting on,
Dm                      Am
Don't you think it's time to build yourself a home?
Amaj7                             Gm
She blinked her brilliant eye, I don't even think she heard.
Amaj7                 Emaj7
Little weaver bird, get weaving.

[Verse 3]
Am                          Emaj7
Your children will arrive, and expect a downy bed,
Dm                      Am
For everything alive needs a place to lay its head.
Amaj7                             Gm
She looked at me and sighed, but she never said a word.
Amaj7                 Emaj7
Little weaver bird, get weaving.

[Verse 4]
Am                          Emaj7
Oh, I can sympathize with a heart that is distressed,
Dm                      Am
But every bird who's wise will build herself a nest.
Amaj7                             Gm
She looked at me and sighed, then a miracle occurred:
Amaj7                 Emaj7
The little weaver bird got weaving.
