Ab Gb F I know why the caged bird sings Bbm Ab Eb Only joy comes from song Ab Gb F She's so rare and beautiful to others Bbm Ab Eb Why not just set her free Ab Gb F So she can fly, fly, fly Ab Gb F Spreadin' her wings and her song Ab Gb F Let her fly, fly, fly Bbm Ab Eb For the whole world to see
[interlude]
Ab Gb F
Ab Gb F
Ab Gb F She's like a caged bird Ab Gb F Fly fly Ab Gb F Oh, she's a little fly, She's a little fly, She'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.
