C G Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
C Am7 Em Em7 I saw you running ahead of the crowd Fmaj7 C G I chased but never thought I'd catch you C Am7 Em Em7 Fmaj7 You said you loved me but you had to be free and I let you C G Why did I let you
[Verse 2]
C Am7 Em Em7 We walked together through the gardens and graves Fmaj7 C G I watched you grow to be a woman C Am7 Em Em7 Fmaj7 Living on promises that nobody gave to no one C Em A They were given to no one
[Interlude]
(A) D Am D
[Verse 3]
C Am7 Em Em7 I started listening to the wind and the rain Fmaj7 C G You strained your ears but could hear nothing C Am7 Em Em7 One night I thought I heard them whisper my name Fmaj7 And I went running
[Verse 4]
C Am7 Em Em7 I left a trail of footprints deep in the snow Fmaj7 C G I swore one day I would retrace them C Am7 Em Em7 Fmaj7 But when I turned around I found that the wind had erased them C Em A Now I'll never replace them
[Chorus]
G Em A C Fly away, my sweet bird, over the land G Em A C Take life for all the freedom you can G Em A C But if you ever should need a man A C Well, the offer still stands
[Interlude]
C G Fmaj7

C Am7 Em Em7 I hear you've taken on a husband and child Fmaj7 C G And live somewhere in Pennsylvania C Am Em Em7 Fmaj7 I never thought you'd ever sever the string, but I can't blame you none C Am7 Em Em7 So let the ashes fall and lay where they will Fmaj7 C G Just say that once you used to know me C Am Em Em7 One last time sing that old song we used to know Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7 C Em A But this time sing - (this time sing) Oh, this time sing a little more slowly
