Dm         Gm         Dm             Gm      
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's  
    Dm         Gm         Dm     
The little old bird woman comes  
       Dm          Gm         Dm         Gm     
In her own special way to the people she calls  
 Dm           A7           Dm      
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs  
   
C7                          F                   
Come feed the little birds, show them you care  
C7                        F A7 
And you'll be glad if you do  
      Dm             Gm      
Their young ones are hungry  
      Dm           Gm    
Their nests are so bare  
       Dm       A7            Dm C7 
All it takes is tuppence from you  
   
F               A#         F     
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,  
A#        F         G7         C7   
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag  
F                A#              F      
Feed the birds," that's what she cries  
A#        F         C7             F      
While overhead, her birds fill the skies  
   
A7    Dm         A7          Dm          A7       
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles  
     Dm          A7        Dm      
Look down as she sells her wares.  
   F               C7          F             C7       
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling  
     F            A7            Dm   C7 
Each time someone shows that he cares  
   
F                    A#         F    
Though her words are simple and few  
A#      F             G7         C7   
Listen, listen, she's calling to you  
 F               A#         F    
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag  
A#        G7        Gm       C7 F   
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
