Bird With A Broken Wing

D           G  A      D
Long ago I was flyin' in the air
G       A      D           G   
Lookin' at the sea below, I was
A      D   G  A
 huntin' krill
D           G  A        D
Divin' down, in a flash, I'd scoop 
'em up
G       A      D           G   
Thrashin' in my mandible, it 
A      D         G  A
was such a thrill

[Pre-Chorus]
G  A7          D
Me, my friends, we were killers

[Chorus]
D
Now I'm just a bird with a broken 
wing
                            B  B7
And I still have a song to sing
Em                    A
Turning night to day, warbling 
clouds away
D
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
                           B
And this beautiful song to sing
Em                     A         
Don't feel sad for me, I'm right 
              D
where I wanna be

[Verse 2]
D              G  A             
The stupid cat, always sneakin' up 
D
on me
G       A        D               
Thinkin' I would be his meal, 
 G      A      D
'til I slipped up and away
D              G     A           
Singing out (Wow), the melody came 
  D
endlessly (Wow)
G       A        D               
High or low, I felt so free 
 G      A      D
(Wow), I had somethin' to say (Wow)

[Pre-Chorus]
G         A7          D
But he'll never catch my melody

[Chorus]
D
Though I'm just a bird with a broken
 wing (Ah)
                           B  B7
And I still have a song to sing (Ah)
Em                         A7
Turning night to day (Ah), warbling 
clouds away (Ah)
D
I'm just a bird with a broken wing 
(Ah)
                           B  B7
And this beautiful song to sing (Ah)
Em                          A7
Don't feel sad for me (Ah), I'm 
right where I wanna be (Ah)

[Bridge]
D               Em               
Nothin' matters in the world and 
A7          D
everyone is free
D               G          
But I'll belong to you if you 
      A7      D
believe in me
D               Em               
Nothin' matters in the world and 
A7          D
everyone is free(Ooh, ooh)
D               G          
But I'll belong to you if you 
      A7      D
believe in me

[Chorus]
D
I'm just a bird with a broken wing 
(Ah)
                           B  B7
And I still have a song to sing (Ah)
Em                         A7
Turning night to day (Ah), warbling 
clouds away (Ah)
D
I'm just a bird with a broken wing 
(Ah)
                           B   B7
And this beautiful song to sing (Ah)
Em                          A7
Don't feel sad for me (Ah), I'm 
right where I wanna be (Ah)
