Intro: Em A Em A Em A Em
Em  Hm       G
   One fine day
A         C             Em
 I had a long distance call,
                               Hm   G
I called my guy, he's waiting far away,
A            C                       H
 He said hello and I got that good feeling.
                     Em  A
And the bird of paradise
Em       A      Em   A
  Flew upon my nose.
Em         A           Em         A      Em
  And the bird of paradise flew upon my nose,
       A      Em   A Em A
Flew upon my nose.
His voice was low
And I heard him say,
`Come, little baby, come, silly soul,
You gotta know I need you so badly.'
                     Em  A
And the bird of paradise
Em       A      Em   A
  Flew upon my nose.
Em         A           Em         A      Em
  And the bird of paradise flew upon my nose,
       A      Em   A Em A  Em C G Em  Em C G Em  Em C G Em  Em C G Em
Flew upon my nose.

And the bird of paradise flew upon my nose,
Flew upon my nose.
