Ab
If you were a bluebird you'd be a sad one
               Db
I'd give you a true word (??)

But you've already had one
                Ab
If you were a bluebird,
          Eb
you'd be crying
Db               Ab
You'd be flying home
Ab
If you were a raindrop, 

You'd shine like a rainbow
                  Db
And if you were a train stop,

The conductor would sing low
              Ab
If you were a raindrop,
         Eb
You'd be falling
Db               Ab
You'd be calling home

SOLO

Ab
If you were a hotel  honey 

You'd be a grand one
                  Db
But, if you hit a slow spell,

Do you think you could stand one
              Ab
If you were a hotel,
                      Eb
Well I'd lean on your doorbell
Db                Ab
I'd call you my home
Ab
If I was a highway,

I'd stretch alongside you
                  Db                      
I'd help you pass byways that had dissatisfied you
            Ab
If I was a highway,
            Eb
well I'd be stretchin
Db                 Ab
I'd be fetchin you home

SOLO
