Free Bird

[Verso 1]

G 
  Well, I went to the pet store 
C 
  To buy a feathered friend 
G 
  Had the clerk show me my options 
D 
  Of all and what they had 
G 
Now, there were parakeets and ducks and geese 
          C 
But I saw one way in the back 
G 
And I said, "Sir, what about her?" 
D                          G 
He just looked and laughed

N.C.          C 
"This one’s a free bird 
                   G 
She's only got one wing 
       D 
And it seems that at the darkest hour 
    G 
Is about the only time she sings 
         C 
We can’t charge a lot found in the parking lot 
  G             G/F#            Em 
Abused and left out in the rain 
             C 
This one's a free bird 
D             G 
  Just buy a cage" 
 

[Verso 2]

G 
  So I took her home, 
C 
  and threw away that cage 
G 
  I guess she can't go far, 
D 
  and hope she wants to stay 
G 
  And ev’ry night it's like she could fly 
     C 
Her songs soars with the moon in the sky 
G 
 And I just smile and listen for a while 
D               G 
 By the window sill

N.C.            C 
Now she's a free bird 
                       G 
She doesn’t need both wings 
        D 
And it seems that at the darkest hour 
 G 
That bird loved to sing 
          C 
She don’t    need a lot; just a perching spot 
    G               G/F#         Em 
A shelter from the wind and the rain 
              C 
Now she's a free bird 
D                          G 
  And that’s the song she sings
