Verse: 

C 
It's your moment, your time; we have asked for your input  
                         G 
You can say whatever you want. 

For one shining second, you're offered the spotlight  
                  F           C 
You can choose to take it, or not 

C 
You might think you are funny, or being ironic 
                               F 
But it's an old joke we've all heard 
            G 
And when it comes to it really, when all's said and done 
                 F              C 
You're still the guy who yelled Freebird 


Chorus: 

(Why did you yell?) 
C                                              G 
Freebird, Freebird, you are the guy who yelled Freebird 
                    F                    C 
Freebird, Freebird, nobody wants to hear Freebird 


Verse: 

C 
It's the first thing that comes into everyone's mind 
                              G 
Unless they have something to say 

No one is laughing except in disgust 
                       F     C 
And the band wants you to go away 

C 
I know you don't want us to really play Skynyrd 
                                 F 
The request is, at this point, absurd 
G 
Even if your bros are patting your back 
                 F              C 
You're still the guy who yelled Freebird 


Chorus: 

(Why did you yell?) 
C                                              G 
Freebird, Freebird, you are the guy who yelled Freebird  
                    F                    C 
Freebird, Freebird, nobody wants to hear Freebird  


Verse: 

C 
You don't understand, you see, we're in a band 
                                 G 
And we hear that damn joke every day 

Did you notice your wife has let go of your hand 
         F                       C 
And your friends are all backing away? 

C 
I'm not saying it's fair, but everyone's thinking 
                              F 
You're a jerk or a prick or a turd 
     G 
If I leave here tomorrow 
                    F              C 
You'll still be the guy who yelled Freebird 


Chorus: 

(Why did you yell?) 
C                                              G 
Freebird, Freebird, you are the guy who yelled Freebird  
                    F                    C 
Freebird, Freebird, nobody wants to hear Freebird 

C                                              G 
Freebird, Freebird, you are the guy who yelled Freebird  
                    F                    C 
Freebird, Freebird, nobody wants to hear Freebird
