D     G         D A
I'm a house wren, hunting for a house
D         G          D      A
I haven't found one, I'm on the lookout
D     G            D A
For a home to call my own
  D       G         D A
A private residence
D           G         D A
Through the grapevine I heard an empty gourd
D          G            D  A
Is hangin' up somewhere on some old lady's porch
D            G          D A
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go
      D      G         D  A
To my new humble abode


[Chorus]
          G    D A
I'm gonna sing
       G                             D         A
at the top of my lungs 'cause it's a beautiful day
          G       D A
I'm gonna spread my wings
          Em       F#m
'Cause as far as I know
  G  A
I am halfway home


[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D  G                 D     A
I'm a house wren who needs a summer home
D      G                 D   A
A country farmhouse or a quiet bungalow
D      G             D   A
Not too big, and not too small
D          G          D  A
First-rate real estate
D     G             D   A
I got my eyes peeled for a window box
D      G              D   A
An old tin can, a boot or a flower pot
D         G               D    A
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go
      D      G         D A
To my new humble abode


[Chorus]
          G    D A
I'm gonna sing
       G                             D         A
at the top of my lungs 'cause it's a beautiful day
          G       D A
I'm gonna spread my wings
          Em       F#m
'Cause as far as I know
  G  A
I am halfway home

[Verse 3]
D     G          D     A
I'm a house wren still hunting for a house
D           G          D   A
But I got a song and a lot to sing about
D           G             D    A
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go
D   G           D  A
Because you know


[Chorus]
          G
I'm gonna sing
       G                             D         A
at the top of my lungs 'cause it's a beautiful day
          G       D A
I'm gonna spread my wings
       Em         F#m
I'm on top of the world
           G         A
And it's a beautiful thing
          G    D A
I'm gonna sing
       G                             D         A
at the top of my lungs 'cause it's a beautiful day
          G       D A
I'm gonna spread my wings
          Em       F#m
'Cause as far as I know
  G  A
I am halfway home


[Outro]
  G  A
I am halfway home
