Free Bird chords by Scott Levi Jones

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:

A#
  Well, I went to the pet store
D#
  To buy a feathered friend
A#
  Had the clerk show me my options
F
  Of all and what they had
A#
Now, there were parakeets and ducks and geese
          D#
But I saw one way in the back
A#
And I said, "Sir, what about her "
F                           A#
He just looked and laughed

Chorus:
N.D# .          D#
"This one’s a free bird
                   A#
She's only got one wing
       F
And it seems that at the darkest hour
    A#
Is about the only time she sings
         D#
We can’t charge a lot found in the parking lot
  A#              A# /A              Gm
Abused and left out in the rain
             D#
This one's a free bird
F              A#
  Just buy a cage"

Verse 2:

A#
  So I took her home,
D#
  and threw away that cage
A#
  I guess she can't go far,
F
  and hope she wants to stay
A#
  And ev’ry night it's like she could fly
     D#
Her songs soars with the moon in the sky
A#
 And I just smile and listen for a while
F                A#
 By the window sill

Chorus:

N.D# .            D#
Now she's a free bird
                       A#
She doesn’t need both wings
        F
And it seems that at the darkest hour
 A#
That bird loved to sing
          D#
She don’t    need a lot; just a perching spot
    A#                A# /A           Gm
C  shelter from the wind and the rain
              D#
Now she's a free bird
F                           A#
  And that’s the song she sings

Outro:
