Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Sammy was low
Just [Em]watching the show
[G]Over and [Gm]over [D]again
Knew it was time
[Em]He'd made up his mind
To leave his [Gm]dead life be[D]hind
His [Bm]boss said to him
[A]Boy you'd [Abdim]better begin
[G]To get those crazy no[A]tions
right [D]out of your head
[Em]Sammy who do you [C]think that you are
[D]You should've bee[Em]n sweeping
[G]up [Gm]the Emerald bar[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Spread your wings and [Bm]fly away
[E]Fly away [A]far away
[D]Spread your little wings and [Bm]fly away
[E]Fly away [A]far away
[Gm]Pull yourself together
'Cause you [D]know you should
do [Gm]better
That's because [D]you're a free
man
[Gm][Cm][D]

[Verse 3]
He spends his [Bm]evenings alone
in his [Abdim]hotel room
[A]Keeping his thoughts to himself
[F#sus4]he'd be leaving soon[F#]
[Bm]Wishing he was m[A]iles and miles[Abdim] away
[A]Nothing in this world nothing would mak[F#sus4]e
[F#]him stay
[G][A][D][Gm][Abdim][E]

[Verse 4]
[A]
[D]Since he was small
Had [Em]no luck at all
[G]Nothing [Gm]came easy to [D]him
Now it was time
[Em]He'd made up [G]his mind
This could [Gm]be my last ch[D]ance

[Verse 5]
His [Bm]boss said to him now listen boy
[Abdim]You're always dreaming
You've [G]got no [A]real ambition
you [D]won't get very far
[Em]Sammy boy don't you [C]know who you are
Why [D]can't you be [E]happy[Em]
[G]at [Gm]the Emerald bar[D]

[Verse 6]
So [D]honey
Spread your wings and [Bm]fly away
[E]Fly away [A]far away
[D]Spread your little wings and [Bm]fly away
[Em]Fly away f[A]ar away
[Gm]Pull yourself together
'Cause you [D]know you should
[Gm]do better
That's because you're a
[D]free [Gm]man[Csus2][D]
Come [Bm]on[E][A]
[D]honey
