verse 1: 

G                 D              G          C 
If you buy her a dream, she'll follow you anywhere 
   G        Am              G                D 
To any old truck stop that this world might bring. 
        G           D       G           C 
She's a heart held down by this little town 
G                 C      D         G 
She's looking to find a bird on a wing. 

Chorus: 
G               C 
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing 
     G            Am           G           D 
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly. 
       G         G7    C 
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing 
      G            D         G 
She's waiting for you to fly by. 

verse 2: 
G                 D           G            C 
She makes a small hole in the frost on the window 
     G            Am          G      D 
She's looking out past old familiar things. 
  G               D             G                C 
She lets her mind slip from the small change and napkins 
G                   C        D         G 
Her heart's looking out for a bird on a wing. 

[Refrão]


G               C 
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing 
     G            Am           G           D 
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly. 
       G         G7    C 
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing 
      G            D         G 
She's waiting for you to fly by. 

verse 3. 
G                 D             G             C 
She stacks up the cups and counts out the few tips 
          G         Am          G             D 
But she's humming a tune that a drifter might sing. 
G           D                   G        C 
She gets to thinking that she's tired of waiting 
G            C          D         G 
Maybe she'll be her own bird on a wing. 


G               C 
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing 
     G            Am           G           D 
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly. 
       G         G7    C 
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing 
      G            D         G 
She's waiting for you to fly by. 
G                  D          C/G 
She's waiting for you to fly by
