Fly Away-Indigo Girls
No capo
GFly away little bCird, aGny place in this oCpen-mouthed world
Gbegs to be fed like a bDed that beckons yCou, but you won't rDest
GEveryone's got a need Cto go, Gmost of us stick with our row Cto hoe
but not yEmou, you're the Dblack crow, with a straiCght line, and no Dtime, for the 
birCds of prey who wrDeck your nest, twGice your size, sCteal your best, they 
seCnt you on this coAmurse of your colliDsion
I am a stGop along your wDay, I am the worCds you'll never sDay, I crossed the 
Ggreat beyond of feDar, opened my eAmyes, and saw us theDre 
what a viCew, you went there tDoo
GFly away little bCird, find the sGong in you that no Cone's heard
Gstrengthen your wings as you sDing your solo fClight, through this short liDfe
Geveryone's got a deep reCgret, we try to grGound ourselves to foCrget
but your rGace to the end is neDck and neck, you lCove them, you lDove them not
the birdCs of prey who wrDeck your nest, twGice your size, stCeal your best
they sCent you on this coAmurse of your colDlision
I am a sGtop along your wDay, I am the worCds you'll never sDay
I crossed the grGeat beyond of feDar, opened my eAmyes, and saw us thDere
what a viCew, you went there tDoo
And aCll along your cGhosen path, are wCindow panes and sheGets of glass
that yCou won't see, you fGly too fast
one dCay it will be oDver
GFly away little biCrd, the sadGdest song I eCver heard
was the oGne that I wrote you in my heDart
that never mCade it to the woDrld
