El Condor Pasa(Chords)

	        El Condor Pasa 
  
                               G 
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail 
                                  Em 
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would    Hmm-mmmmm 
 
                               G 
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail 
                                          Em 
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would   Hmm-mmmmm 
  
C 
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 
He gives the world it's saddest sound 
             Em 
It's saddest sound, Hmm-mmmmm 
 
                              G 
I'd rather be a forest than a street 
                                    Em 
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would 
 
                               G 
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet 
                                           Em 
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
