VERSES
       A
I was a wing 

              G
in heaven blue

                 A
soared over the ocean

                 G
soared over Spain

              A
and I was free

           G
needed nobody

          A
it was beautiful

          A
it was beautiful

       A
I was a pawn

                 G
didn't have a move

                A
didn't have nowhere

               G
that I could go

              A
but I was free

             G
I needed nobody

         A
it was beautiful

         A
it was beautiful
CHORUS
                   D
and if there's one thing

                C
could do for you

              A
you'd be a wing

G G G        A
in heaven blue

       A
I was a vision

              G
in another eye

                   A
and they saw nothing

              G
no future at all

             A
yet I was free

            G
I needed nobody

         A
it was beautiful

         A
it was beautiful
