Emmylou Harris – My Songbird (Guitar)

C             F      C
Songbird in a golden cage

C        G       C
She'd prefer the blue

F               C      G      C
How I crave the liquor of her song

C                 F       C
Poor bird who has done no harm

C         G         C
What harm could she do

F               C        G        C
She shall be my prisoner her life long

F                     C
My songbird wants her freedom

    F                 C
Now don't you think I know

C           Dm      Em    F
But I can't find it in myself

   Am         G    Am
To let my songbird go

F            G       C
I just can't let her go

C                  F         C
O Lord, when your jeweler's eye

        G       C
Peers into my soul

F             C    G        C
O Lord, I am overcome with shame

C                  F  C
Take me, Lord, and purify

C       G      C
Heal me with a word

F             C       G        C
Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim

F                     C
My songbird wants her freedom

    F                 C
Now don't you think I know?

C           Dm      Em    F
But I can't find it in myself

   Am         G    Am
To let my songbird go

F            G       C
I just can't let her go
