G C/G (x4) [Verse 1]
                    Em     C/G
You're such a heavy bird

                            G     C/G
You'd never get far on your own

       G                         C/G
You'll never have a use for your feathers

                              G     C/G
While you're hopping down the road

                          Em     C/G
You were born to walk the earth

                           G     C/G
With your back against the cold

           Em
And no you never had a purpose

       C/G                          G     C/G
Till I wore you on my back like a coat

                       G      C/G
You're in your evening gloves

                           G              C/G
You're off the farm taking big city drugs

                                       D
No matter how far you get, let it sink in

                C/G       D               G      C/G
That I gave you roots and baby I gave you wings

                G                    C/G
Yeah I gave you roots and I gave you wings
[Verse 2]
                        Em     C/G
And I showed you how to swing

                    G     C/G
I showed you how to strut

          G
That's my mojo you're using

       C/G                 Em     C/G
That's my wine getting you drunk

                     Em     C/G
Was I that broke you in

                             G     C/G
I got you clean, clipped and cut

         Em                   C/G
You're a mule among horses, I took you

                   G     C/G
When God stood you up

                         G     C/G
Now tell me who could do more

                   G                 C/G
Set myself on fire keeping you warm

                                          D
And now I'm off the hook and he's on your chin

               C/G         D               G      C/G
But I gave you roots, yeah baby I gave you wings

                G                    C/G
Know I gave you roots and I gave you wings
[Solo] Am C/G (x3) [Bridge]
                    C/G                   D
Now you've got your looks and your pretty things

             C/G                     D
A new set of chances that I wouldn't give

                 C/G                    D
Now if you've forgotten, I'll tell you again

                                       G      C/G      G      C/G
That I gave you roots, baby I gave you wings
[Verse 3]
                    G      C/G
You're such a heavy bird

                            G      C/G
You'd never get far on your own

                G     C/G              G     C/G
Yeah I gave you roots, baby I gave you wings

                G     C/G              G     C/G
Yeah I gave you roots, baby I gave you wings

                           Em     C/G
Oh now you're such a heavy bird

                            G     C/G
You'd never get far on your own

           Em    C/G                         G     C/G
I gave you roots, gave you roots, I gave you wings

                         Em     C/G
Gave you roots, gave you wings

                    G     C/G
You're such a heavy bird
