(intro) C 

(verse 1) 
          C              Em 
There's a yellow flower, by your bed; 
F                    C 
 Sadly droopin' it's perfumed head. 

Cmaj7               Fmaj7 
 So you won't smell it; 
  G                Fmaj7 
I know what you'll miss. 
 
              C              G 
And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird, 
  C              F 
A hummingbird, A hummingbird. 
             C            G        F  C 
Oh there's a hummingbird, singing. 

(verse 2) 
C 
 There is the hat you made, 
    Em 
The clothes you wore; 
F                  C 
 Lying down on the cold dirty floor. 

Cmaj7            Fmaj7 
 The colours are fading; 
        G             Fmaj7 
They'll never shine a-gain. 

(Chorus 2) 
              C              G 
And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird, 
  C              F 
A hummingbird, A hummingbird. 
             C            G        F  C 
Oh there's a hummingbird, singing.

(verse 3) 
C                Em 
 Now the road is turning grey; 
F                       C 
 There's a shadow where you once lay. 

Cmaj7               Fmaj7 
 They'll find it to-morrow, 
    G                Fmaj7 
And think you went a-lone. 

(Chorus 3) 
              C              G 
And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird, 
  C              F 
A hummingbird, A hummingbird. 
             C            G       F  C 
Oh there's a hummingbird, crying.
