I Like Birds — Eels
Chords and lyrics for I Like Birds by Eels (key of C).
Verse 1
On the last 4 chords(D,C,G,D) you do a half strum half pick, a sort of
downwards pick.
Edit June 7th 2020: I've added a strum pattern which approximates the song
but it's better to only use it as a
guide and listen to the song to get the exact feel.
*slap slap* = slap the guitar strings twice
*du-de-du* = whistle three times
