CHORUS:

D MajorD          G+G
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord!
D MajorD              A augmentedA
Take away these chains from me!
D MajorD                   G+G
My heart is broken 'cos my spirit's not free,
D MajorD                  A augmentedA
Lord, take away these chains from me!

Verse 1:

D MajorD                       G+G
Some birds' feathers are too bright to be caged
D MajorD                           A augmentedA
I know I'm not that colourful, but a bird just the same
D MajorD                        G+G
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
D MajorD                      A augmentedA
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home.
