Em Hm G
One fine day
A C Em
I had a long distance call,
Hm G
I called my guy, he's waiting far away,
A C H
He said hello and I got that good feeling.
Em A
And the bird of paradise
Em A Em A
Flew upon my nose.
Em A Em A Em
And the bird of paradise flew upon my nose,
A Em A Em A
Flew upon my nose.
His voice was low
And I heard him say,
`Come, little baby, come, silly soul,
You gotta know I need you so badly.'
Em A
And the bird of paradise
Em A Em A
Flew upon my nose.
Em A Em A Em
And the bird of paradise flew upon my nose,
A Em A Em A Em C G Em Em C G Em Em C G Em Em C G Em
Flew upon my nose.
