Artist: Eels
Song: I Like Birds
Album: Daisies of the Galaxy
Tabbed by: Damain Quigley(dee_hi@hotmail.com)


This is a great wee song; there is already a tab up here but its wrong so I decided to do my own, the song is on ‘Daises of the Galaxy’, the Eels 3rd album which also has some gems of songs for acoustic players.

This is my first ever tab so bear with me, I am not gonna bother with rhythm and things like that but its in 6/8 if that helps.

Theres also a rock version for this song if someone could tab it for me I would be very grateful.

INTRO

/	D	/       C,     G   /

VERSE I

D                 C      G
I can look at the rocket launch,
D                   C   G
The trophy wives of the astronauts,
D                 C        G
And I wont listen to their words…
D
Because I like…(DOUBLE SLAP ON THE GUITAR)

…BIRDS

VERSE II
D                C            G
I don’t care for walking down town,
D             C      G
Crazy autocar mow me down,
D                           C         G
Look at all the people like cows in a herd,
D
Well I like….
(whistling but I like to slap the guitar again, ill let u choose)
BIRDS

CHORUS
This is the same chords and rhythm as the verse but the lyrics r different,
D             C        G
If your small and on a search,
D                     C    G
I’ve got a feeder for u to perch on,



That’s more or else it, I ll just give u the rest of the lyrics,

LYRICS

I can't look at the rocket launch
the trophy wives of the astronauts
And i wont listen to their words
Because I like…
(slap, slap)
BIRDS

I don't care for walking downtown
Crazy autocar gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, I like
(slap, slap)
BIRDS

If you’re small and on a search,
I’ve a feeder for u to perch on

I Can't stand a line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But its all right if you act like a turd
cause i like
(slap, slap)
BIRDS

If youre small and on a search,
ive got feeder for you to perch on

If youre small and on a search,
Ive got feeder for you to perch on
Ive got feeder for you to perch on
If youre small and on a search,
Ive got feeder for you to perch on
Ive got feeder for you to perch on
