THE SWOOPING
Words and music by Lachlan Irvine
[G][D][G] X 2
Oh, the [G] magpie is a [D] beautiful [G] bird,
With its [G] two-tone [D] plumage on [G] show;
[C] Greeting each new [D] dawn with a [G] warbling [Em] song,
But there's [C] something that [D] we all need to [G] know.
The [G] springtime it [D] brings on the [G] swooping,
When those [G] black and white [D] birds are seeing [G] red;
If you [C] want to have [D] fun in the [G] springtime [Em] sun,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head. /[C][D][G]
With the [G] sun shining [D] bright and wattle [G] blooming,
It's a [G] perfect time to [D] take a walk out-[G]-side;
But when they [C] dive bomb with [D] ease, coming [G] out of the [Em] trees,
You'll [C] wish that you could [D] find a place to [G] hide.
The [G] springtime it [D] brings on the [G] swooping,
When those [G] black and white [D] birds are seeing [G] red;
If you [C] want to have [D] fun in the [G] springtime [Em] sun,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head. /[C][D][G]
Oh, the [G] blue sky [D] looks so in-[G]-viting,
And you [G] want to take your [D] bike out for a [G] spin;
But you'll [C] soon change your [D] mind when they [G] hit you from be-[Em]-hind,
And [C] scare you right [D] out of your [G] skin.
The [G] springtime it [D] brings on the [G] swooping,
When those [G] black and white [D] birds are seeing [G] red;
If you [C] want to have [D] fun in the [G] springtime [Em] sun,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head. /[C][D][G]
So [G] please take [D] heed of my [G] warning,
If you [G] want to go out [D] in the open [G] air;
When those [C] angry birds swoop [D] down, aiming [G] straight for your [Em] crown,
Please make [C] sure that your [D] head is not [G] bare.
The [G] springtime it [D] brings on the [G] swooping,
When those [G] black and white [D] birds are seeing [G] red;
If you [C] want to have [D] fun in the [G] springtime [Em] sun,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head. /
Oh yes, the [G] springtime it [D] brings on the [G] swooping,
When those [G] black and white [D] birds are seeing [G] red;
If you [C] want to have [D] fun in the [G] springtime [Em] sun,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head. /
Yes, if you [C] want to have [D] fun in the [G] springtime [Em] sun,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head, oh [Em] yeah,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head, you've been [Em] warned,
Be [C] sure to take pro-[D]-tection for your [G] head. [D][G]
