============================================================= 
 
*verse 1* 
 
Three little birds, sat on my window. 
And they told me I don't need to worry. 
Summer came like cinnamon 
So sweet, 
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete. 
 
*pre-Chorus* 
 
A/F#	(Freak-chord)	A/F#				B9 
Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright 
	Dmaj7							Dmmaj7 
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same 
 
Oh, don't you hesitate. 
 
*Chorus* 
 
Go, put your records on, tell me your favourite song 
You go ahead, let your hair down 
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams, 
Just go ahead, let your hair down. 
 
Dmaj7						Dmmaj7 
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. 
 
*verse 2* 
 
Blue as the sky, sombre and lonely, 
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side, 
(just relax, just relax) 
Don't you let those other boys fool you, 
Gotta love that afro hairdo. 
 
{pre-Chorus} 
 
{Chorus} 
 
*bridge* 
 
Bm9 
Just more than I could take, pity for pity's sake 
A/F# 
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger 
Bm9	Dmaj7	Bm9 
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer. 
Dmaj7 
Do what you want to. 
 
{Chorus} x2
