Intro: F C F C 
 
           F         C           F          C 
There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow 
        F        C       F          C 
And I'm sad as a man can be 
      F            F7             Bb     Ddim7 
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room 
         F         C         F 
And this room is a prison to me 
 
             C                       F 
I look at my window and what to do I see 
        C                F 
I see a bird way up in a tree 
             F    C    Bb               Dm 
I want to be free free free - ee - ee  ee 
             Dm6         C7          F 
I want to be free like a bird in a tree 
 
    F                C                F            C 
Oh, what good are my eyes, they can't see you 
       F                C           F            C 
And my arms, they can't hold you so tight 
           F             F7                    Bb         Ddim7 
I have two lips that are yearning, but they're no good to me 
        F            C        F 
Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight 
 
             C                       F 
I look at my window and what to do I see 
        C                F 
I see a bird way up in a tree 
             F    C    Bb               Dm 
I want to be free free free - ee - ee  ee 
             Dm6         C7          F 
I want to be free like a bird in a tree
