[A] [F#m]
Well, cuckoo, she's a pretty bird How she warbles when she flies
And she never hollers, cuckoo, Until the fourth of July
And I play cards here in England And I gamble in Spain
And I bet you ten dollars I'll beat you next game
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds And how I know you're from home
And how you rob my phone pocket For my silver and my gold
And I'm a-building a log cabin On a mountain so high
So I can see Nelly As she goes right by
Well, cuckoo, she's a pretty bird How she warbles when she flies
And she never hollers, cuckoo, Until the fourth of July
Oh, no, until the fourth of July
[E] [N]

And I bet you ten dollars I'll beat you next game
Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds And how I know you're from home
And how you rob my phone pocket For my silver and my gold
And I'm a-building a log cabin On a mountain so high
So I can see Nelly As she goes right by
Well, cuckoo, she's a pretty bird How she warbles when she flies
And she never hollers, cuckoo, Until the fourth of July
Oh, no, until the fourth of July
