Robin woke one morning
C
Broke his fast with a worm
C              Dbdim7
Tried flying on his commute
Dbdim7                            C
But he floundered and fell to the ground
C
Realised that his wings didn't work
C
Lying down on the ground
C                   Dbdim7
Saw the flowers were nice from below
F             G            C
Hedgehog came wandering to him
C                       F
"You don't look right," Hedgehog said
C                        Gsus4 G
Picking the dirt off his spines
Am               Bbdim7
"I know who will fix this for you
F      G    C
Go and find Mole."

Am          G          F
Offered the flowers to him
F                          G6
"Keep them for you, you've only got you,"
   Am        G            F
He said with bang, hе was gone
            Am7/F
Who was the boy?

Who was the boy?

Robin spent the morning
C                    Gsus4 G
Hopping to find Mrs. Mole
Am                Bbdim7
Knew that she was struggling to find
    F           G          C
The good that a mole could bring
C           F
"Who's this smiling boy
C              Gsus4 G
Grinding out a meal?
Am               Bbdim7
Wished he'd be a good, kind mole
F        G           C
He might want to eat meat."

F                   G6
She looked straight into his eyes
Am            G        F
Tears rolling into her ears
F                     G6
Maybe I'm better just being a daughter
  Am         G          F
Although she couldn't deny 
            Am7/F
Wanting the boy

Chapter Three
C                   F
Mrs. Mole wiped her tears away
C                        Gsus4 G
Looked at Robin's broken wings
Am                    Bbdim7
"What do you expect a mole to fix?
F      G    C
Go and find Deer."
C                 F
Robin dragged his body
C                  Gsus4 G
Through the forest ground
Am                     Bbdim7
Knew that deer lived a solitary life
F               G            C
Couldn't find a print on the ground

F      Ab               Db             E
 Robin sunk down to the earth, and mud pulled him gradually in
F        Ab                 Db            E
 "Who am I to think that my selfish genes should keep going on?
F       Eb     Bb
  Can I be the father
F        Eb       Cm  C
  Like I dreamt I might?"
 
[Verse 6]
F                G6
Robin looked up, saw a hoof
Am            G         F
Trying to get up to the ground
F                      G6
"Help me Deer, please, help me Deer"
   Am          G            F
He reached his wings to the Deer
F                    G6
Deer looked down, he liked to be alone
       Am       G          F
With a sigh, he gave him a lift
   F                    G6
"I knew it was you, I'm glad it was you"
   Am        G           F
He knew from now he'd be alone
F       G6      Am G F
I won't try to fly
F       G6      Am G F
I won't try to fly
F       G6      Am G F
I won't try to fly
F       G6      Am G F
I won't try to fly
