[G]Three little birds, [A]sat on my window.
[C]And they told me I don’t need to [G]worry.

So sweet, [C]little girls double-dutch on the con[G]crete.
[Em]Maybe [B]sometimes, we’ve [Em]got it wrong, but it’s al[A]right.
The [C]more things seem to change, the more [Cm]they stay the same.
Oh, [Cm]don’t you hesitate.


[G]Girl, put your records on, [A]tell me your favourite song.
[C]You go ahead, let your hair [G]down.
[G]Sapphire and faded jeans, [A]I hope you get your dreams,
[C]Just go ahead, let your hair [G]down.
[C]You’re gonna find yourself [Cm]somewhere, some[G]how.


[G]Blue as the sky, [A]sunburnt and lonely,
[C]Sipping tea in a bar by the road[G]side,
(just relax, just [G]relax)
Don’t you let those other [A]boys fool you,


[C]Got to love that afro hair [G]do.
[Em]Maybe [B]sometimes, we’ve [Em]got it wrong, but it’s al[A]right.
The [C]more things seem to change, the more [Cm]they stay the same.
Don’t [Cm]you think it’s strange?


[G]Girl, put your records on, [A]tell me your favourite song.

[C]You’re gonna find yourself [Cm]somewhere, some[G]how.


[Am]’Twas more than I could take, pity for pity’s sake
[Em]Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stron[Am]ger
When you gonna realise, that you don’t even [G]have to [C]try any [Am]longer?
[C]Do what you want to…


[G]Girl, put your records on, [A]tell me your favourite song.
[C]You go ahead, let your hair [G]down.
[G]Sapphire and faded jeans, [A]I hope you get your dreams,
[C]Just go ahead, let your hair [G]down.
