C majorC A minorAm G7G7


Verse 1:
    C majorC
He was old and he walked slowly through the park
G+G
to the bench where he would sleep on after dark.
     FF              C majorC      A minorAm
He saw a bird high on a tree and said listen carefully
FF       G7G7     C majorC
so your life will not end in misery.

Refr:
       C majorC
Don't fly too high, my little bird
FF        C majorC
'cause if you try you may get hurt.
                         G+G
You will burn your wings, when you reach for the sun.
       C majorC
Don't fly too high, my little bird
FF
your lonely crying won't be heard
G7G7      FF           G+G     G7G7   C majorC  G7G7
You'll be tumbling down to the ground, 'cause pride will have a fall.


Verse 2:
     C majorC
Then the little bird came flying from the tree
                    G+G
and it landed lightly on the old man's knee
    FF             C majorC        A minorAm
Just a tiny piece of bread, 'twas all the old man had
    FF       G7G7       C majorC
But he gave it to the little bird and said:


Refr:
       C majorC
Don't fly too high, my little bird
FF        C majorC
'cause if you try you may get hurt.
                         G+G
You will burn your wings, when you reach for the sun.
       C majorC
Don't fly too high, my little bird
FF
your lonely crying won't be heard
G7G7      FF           G+G     G7G7   C majorC  G7G7
You'll be tumbling down to the ground, 'cause pride will have a fall.

Verse 3:
     C majorC
Then one morning the old man went to the highway.

All the cars he tried to stop were passing by.
   FF                 C majorC      A minorAm
So he could not save his friend, who was dying in his hands
FF        G7G7        C majorC
Because his broken wings would never mend.


Refr:
       C majorC
Don't fly too high, my little bird
FF        C majorC
'cause if you try you may get hurt.
                         G+G
You will burn your wings, when you reach for the sun.
       C majorC
Don't fly too high, my little bird

your lonely crying won't be heard
G7G7      FF           G+G     G7G7   C majorC  G7G7
You'll be tumbling down to the ground, 'cause pride will have a fall.
