Em            G
    Up at the crack of dawn
D            C
    Before anyone
Em               G
    Round to the schoolyard
D                     C
    In the cool summer sun
Em                   G
    It was Saturday morning
D                 C
    I was under my tree
Em                   G
    I heard the birds sing
D                    C
    They were singing to me

[Verse]

Em             G
    Building a fortress
D                         C
    From the rocks and the sand
Em                       G
    Small twigs were the soldiers
D                C
    That I would command
Em                  G
    I was up at the sunrise
D                   C
    Sitting under my tree
Em              G
    I saw the birds fly
D            C
    Wild and free

[Verse]

Em                        G
    Through the din of the morning
D                       C
    As the neighbourhood rose
Em              G
    I ran from my world
D              C
    So nobody knows
Em                  G
    It was Saturday morning
D                   C
    I was under my tree
Em                   G
    I heard the birds sing
D                    C
    They were singing to me

[Outro]

G        D       C      D              G
    Ahhh-ah-ah-ah-ahhh, I was under my tree
D    C    D               G
            I was under my tree
D    C    D           G
            Under my tree
D    C    D     G
