[Chorus]
A            A7    Bm7       D9      Cdim           A
Poor little robin walkin', walkin', WALKIN' TO MISSOURI;
A           F#m     E    D9  E
He can't afford to fly
E7     D9   E7    A           A7
Got a penny for a Poor little robin,
Bm7     D9       Cdim         Dm6
Walkin' walkin' WALKIN' TO MISSOURI
E7     D9      Dm6     E
Got a teardrop in his eye


[Verse 1]
  A        F#m         A6       A7
I hope my story don't make you cry
     D    D6     Bm       Bm7
But this birdie flew too high;
   E7    Dm6    Bm7-5  Cdim    A
He flew from his old Missouri home
E7  A         F#m      A6    A7          D  D6     Bm    Bm7
He fell right into the city ways, like dancin' in cabarets
     E7    D9    E7   Dm6        A
From par - ty to party he would roam


[Chorus]
A            A7    Bm7       D9      Cdim           A
Poor little robin walkin', walkin', WALKIN' TO MISSOURI;
A           F#m     E    D9  E
He can't afford to fly
E7     D9   E7    A           A7
Got a penny for a Poor little robin,
Bm7     D9       Cdim         Dm6
Walkin' walkin' WALKIN' TO MISSOURI
E7     D9      Dm6     E
Got a teardrop in his eye


[Verse 2]
   A      F#m        A6        A7
He met a birdie who looked so nice
   D    D6      Bm        Bm7
A real bird of par - a - dise,
      E7   Dm6      Bm7-5 Cdim     A    Edim  E7
Good look - in' but fickle in the heart
      A       F#m        A6       A7
She gave him kisses and gave him sighs
     D   D6      Bm       Bm7
But oh, how she told him lies
        E7 Dm6    Bm7-5  Cdim      A     D9    A
'Cause she loved another from the start


[Chorus]
A            A7    Bm7       D9      Cdim           A
Poor little robin walkin', walkin', WALKIN' TO MISSOURI;
A           F#m     E    D9  E
He can't afford to fly
E7     D9   E7    A           A7
Got a penny for a Poor little robin,
Bm7     D9       Cdim         Dm6
Walkin' walkin' WALKIN' TO MISSOURI
E7     D9      Dm6     E
Got a teardrop in his eye


[Verse 3]
      A        F#m            A6       A7
His dreams are battered, his feathers bent
D       D6    Bm     Bm7
Now he hasn't got a cent;
   E7     Dm6     Bm7-5    Cdim   A     Edim  E7
He feels like his heart is gonna break
   A     F#m        A6    A7
So if he ever walks up to you
        D    D6     Bm       Bm7
Please throw him a crumb or two
        E7  Dm6      Bm7-5       Cdim    A  D9  A7
'Cause you could have made the same mistake


[Chorus]
A            A7    Bm7       D9      Cdim           A
Poor little robin walkin', walkin', WALKIN' TO MISSOURI;
A           F#m     E    D9  E
He can't afford to fly
E7     D9   E7    A           A7
Got a penny for a Poor little robin,
Bm7     D9       Cdim         Dm6
Walkin' walkin' WALKIN' TO MISSOURI
E7     D9      Dm6     E
Got a teardrop in his eye
