(intro) G C G D Em C D G G C G D There once was a young bird, he was plain as could be Em C G D He looked like any other, that much i could see G C G D And i'd written him off, untill i was proved wrong Em C D G The day that this bird started singing his song. G C G D And a freedom i've not felt since i was a boy Em C G D Overtook my whole being, i was filled with joy G C G D But then i became worried, that the bird would not stay Em C D G So i cornered him, caged him up, locked him away. C G D Em I said,"Sing me the song you sang moments ago, C G D it made me feel happy and made my heart flow" C G D Em But he looked at me sadly and his eyes, they turned bleek C D G And there was not a sound coming out from his beek. G C G D So tried to entice him to get him to sing Em C G D But he seemed to be sad, though he had everything G C G D And as the weeks passed, he looked worse everyday Em C D G he seemed to be dying, yet still i would say, [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/h/hokus-pick/178992.html ] C G D Em I'd say,"Sing me that old song that you sang before C G D it's been so long i don't know anymore C G D Em just how the tune went, won't you sing it for me? C D G And if it had words tell me what would they be?" (decrease tempo) G C And then the time came G D when the bird passed away Em C G D but he told me the words to his song on that day He said... G C "The song that i wrote... G D the one i shared with you... Em C G D it was a song about freedom that i hold so true (increase tempo) C G D Em And i'd sing you the song but my freedom is gone C G D and now i am dying but soon i'll journey on C G D Em to a place where those sweet notes will be heard again C D G and my song about freedom i'll sing for you then." Ohhhhhhhhhh C G D Em I said,"Forgive me dear God for this wrong i have done C G D my selfish heart took the life of this one C G D Em But i pray that one day i will join him and then C D G i'll hear that sweet song of freedom again Em C D G i'll hear that sweet song of freedom again Em C D G i'll hear that sweet song of freedom again Em C D G i'll hear that sweet song of freedom again.
