From my handy foldable blue canvas throne

I just wanna watch the birds up there

Track the migratory patterns that they flow
G D
I wanna watch them from my chair
Gm6 Bm G6
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
G N.C. Gm N.C. D
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone
[Bridge]

Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys

The owlets, the eagles and mynas

It's just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers

The snipes, though I heard they don't exist

Each little species in its little way can teach me
D7 G9
What awaits you if you can get away
[Chorus]
G D
I wanna watch the birds do what they will
Gm6 Bm G6
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
G D
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still
Gm6 Bm G6
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
[Finale]

I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone.

I just wanna be alone
