C Am G7



Verse 1:
    C
He was old and he walked slowly through the park
G
to the bench where he would sleep on after dark.
     F              C      Am
He saw a bird high on a tree and said listen carefully
F       G7     C
so your life will not end in misery.

Refr:
       C
Don't fly too high, my little bird
F        C
'cause if you try you may get hurt.
                         G
You will burn your wings, when you reach for the sun.
       C
Don't fly too high, my little bird
F
your lonely crying won't be heard
G7      F           G     G7   C  G7
You'll be tumbling down to the ground, 'cause pride will have a fall.


Verse 2:
     C
Then the little bird came flying from the tree
                    G
and it landed lightly on the old man's knee
    F             C        Am
Just a tiny piece of bread, 'twas all the old man had
    F       G7       C
But he gave it to the little bird and said:


Refr:
       C
Don't fly too high, my little bird
F        C
'cause if you try you may get hurt.
                         G
You will burn your wings, when you reach for the sun.
       C
Don't fly too high, my little bird
F
your lonely crying won't be heard
G7      F           G     G7   C  G7
You'll be tumbling down to the ground, 'cause pride will have a fall.


Verse 3:
     C
Then one morning the old man went to the highway.
                      G
All the cars he tried to stop were passing by.
   F                 C      Am
So he could not save his friend, who was dying in his hands
F        G7        C
Because his broken wings would never mend.


Refr:
       C
Don't fly too high, my little bird
F        C
'cause if you try you may get hurt.
                         G
You will burn your wings, when you reach for the sun.
       C
Don't fly too high, my little bird
F
your lonely crying won't be heard
G7      F           G     G7   C  G7
You'll be tumbling down to the ground, 'cause pride will have a fall.
