[C][D][F][C][D][F]
[C][D][C][D][F][C][D][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]I
saw you [Am]running [Em]ahead of the crowd
[F]I chased but never thought
I'd [C]catch [G]you
[C]You said you[Am] loved me but you had[Em]
to be free and I [F]let [C]you
Why did I let [G]you
[C]We walked toget[Am]her through
the [Em]gardens and graves
[F]I watched you grow to be a woman[C][G]
[C]Living on pro[Am]mises that nob[Em]ody
gave to [F]no one
They were given [C]to no [G]one[Am][D][Am]
[D]
[C]I started lis[Am]tening to the[Em] wind and the rain
[F]You strained your ears
but could hear [C]nothing[G]
[C]One night I tho[Am]ught I heard
them [Em]whisper my name
And I went [F]running
[C]I left a t[Am]rail of footprints dee[Em]p in the snow
[F]I swore one day I would retra[C]ce the[G]m
[C]But when I tur[Am]ned around I fou[Em]nd
that the wind had [F]erased them
Now I'll never re[C]place [G]them
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[Chorus:]
Fly [Em]away, my sweet bird,
[A]over [C]the land[G]
Take [Em]life for all the [A]freedom you [C]can[G]
But [Em]if you ever sh[A]ould need a ma[C]n
Well, [A]the offer still stands
[C][D][F][C][A]
[C][D][F][C][D]
[F]I h[C]ear
you've [Am]taken on a hus[Em]band and child
[F]And live somewhere in Pen[C]nsylvania[G]
[C]I never tho[Am]ught you'd ever sev[Em]er the string
but I can't [F]blame you [C]none[G]
[C]So let the [Am]ashes fall and [Em]lay where they will
[F]Just say that once you used to [C]know me[G]
[C]One last time sin[Am]g that old
song [Em]we used to know
But [F]this time sing
But this time sing a little more [C]slowly
[G][Chorus]
