There's an old time sayin' that's bein' said

Verse 2:
F                                            Bb
There's an old crow flyin' 'cross this fence line
F                                   Bb
Just flappin' his wings and wastin' time

Well this town might not see me anymore
            C
What's the fun in that?
          Bb
Where's a bird to go?
            C
It's a manmade world
        Bb
This is all he knows


Chorus:

F
Spread my wings, liftoff now
C
Leavin' solid ground
Dm
Think of me floatin' in the air
Bb
Like a shuttle in the atmosphere
F
Hold me close, love me right
C
See me burning through the night
Dm
Like a bird in flight
Bb
Like a bird in flight


F Bb F Bb

Well I'm tryin' to do the best I can
