[Ab]Right now I f[Gb]eel like a[F] bird
[Ab]Caged wit[Gb]hout a k[F]ey
[Ab]Everyones c[Gb]omes st[F]earing me
[Ab]With so much j[Gb]oy and r[F]evelry
Bbm Ab Eb
[Bbm]They don't [Ab]know how [Eb]I feel inside
[Bbm]Through my [Ab]smile I [Eb]cry
[Bbm]They don't [Ab]know wha[Eb]t they do to me
[Bbm]Keeping [Ab]me from [Eb]flyin'
(Thats why I say that)
[Ab]I know wh[Gb]y the ca[F]ged bird sings
[Bbm]Only jo[Ab]y comes [Eb]from song
[Ab]She's so [Gb]rare and b[F]eautiful to others
[Bbm]Why not j[Ab]ust set [Eb]her free
[Ab]So she ca[Gb]n fly, fly[F], fly
[Ab]Spreadin' her w[Gb]ings and he[F]r song
[Ab]Let her f[Gb]ly, fly, f[F]ly
[Bbm]For the w[Ab]hole wor[Eb]ld to see
(interlude)
[Ab] [Gb] [F]
[Ab]She's lik[Gb]e a caged [F]bird
[Ab]Fly fly [Gb] [F]
Oh, [Ab]she's a little fly, She's[Gb] a little fly, She'[F]s a little fly
Ab Gb Fmaj7
Spread wings, Spread beauty
you may want to try varying the Eb by using x6888x, x6534x, or 3x134x
you may want to finger the Fmaj7 with 1x221x, x 8 10 9 10 x, or x8755x
Tips: Watch the third verse, since it alternates between the two chord progressions, you
want to use the two lead-ins alternatively during that verse.
