[Verse]
C             D     
I'm your only friend
             Eb         
I'm not your only friend
F                Bb            
But I'm a little glowing friend
C                  Db                  
But really I'm not actually your friend
      C 
But I am
                   F                         
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Gsus4 C               
Who   watches over you
G             F                 Eb  
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               Ab                
Not to put too fine a point on it
Eb               Ab                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Eb            Ab                C   
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

         F             
I have a secret to tell
C       F              
From my electrical well
C      G      C7     
It's a simple message
        F                                 
And I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
C                F           
So the room must listen to me
C          F         
Filibuster vigilantly


[Chorus]
C          C7          F                G   
My name is blue canary one note spelled lite
Am F               
My story's infinite
D7                F              G7      G   
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest
C                  F                         
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
            F       
Who watches over you
                                Eb  
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               Ab                
Not to put too fine a point on it
Eb               Ab                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Eb            Ab        G       C   
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

[Verse]
Am            Bsus4 
I'm your only friend
             C          
I'm not your only friend
D                G             
But I'm a little glowing friend
Am7                Bb            G     
But really I'm not actually your friend
        
But I am
C                 F          
There's a picture opposite me
C               F       
Of my primitive ancestry
C              C7          
Which stood on rocky shores
    F                G             
And kept the beaches shipwreck free
C        F              C  
Though I respect that a lot
                F            C  
I'd be fired if that were my job


[Chorus]
              C7            F                   G        
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Am          F           
Bluebird of friendliness
D7            F           G7         
Like guardian angels it's always near
C                  F                         
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Gsus4 C       F       
Who   watches over you
C      G                        Eb  
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
               Ab                
Not to put too fine a point on it
Eb               Ab                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Eb            Ab                C   
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
    F                 
And while you're at it
Gsus4               C             G                     
Keep the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul
Eb             Ab                
Not to put too fine a point on it
Eb               Ab                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Eb   C        Ab                C   
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Eb             Ab                
Not to put too fine a point on it
Eb               Ab                
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
    C               
Who watches over you

Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Eb             Ab                
Not to put too fine a point on it

Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

Make a little birdhouse in your soul ■
