I like birds - The Eels
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Joe
Email: ran-dom@tiscali.co.uk

Tuning: EADGBe standard

This is a well easy song to play, it's just this bit all the way through, but a
second guitar backs it up with E & D. I play it by making the D shape but on the
4th fret (000454) then moving down to the regular D then playing the Dsus2. I've
played it with the record and it's in tune, so I'm pretty sure it's correct.

E: 022100
D: x00232
Dsus2: x00220

Here's the lyrics

I can't look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And I won't listen to their words
'Cause I like
Birds

I don't care for walkin' down town
Crazy auto car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well I like
Birds

If you're small
And on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

I can't stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore
But it's all right if you act like a turd
'Cause I like
Birds

If you're small
And on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

If you're small
And on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
If you're small
And on a search
I've got a feeder for you to perch on
I've got a feeder for you to perch on

Anyways, I hope this helps you on your quest 2 play this, Have a nice day!

He just loves the way that birds are free to do what they want with no worries...

He hates society around him, and the "I like birds" is a reference to him liking to "flip people the bird", or show his middle finger. The feeder is his hand ("bite the hand that feeds you") and the "search" is looking for things he despises.
