Spread Your Wings
by Blind Guardian (originally recorded by "Queen")
DSammy was low,
Just E7watching the show,
GOver and Gmover aDgain.
He Dknew it was time,
He'd E7made up his mind,
To Gleave his dead Gmlife beDhind.
His Bmboss said to him
Boy, you'd Gbetter begin
To Aget those crazy notions
Right Dout of your head
Em7Sammy who do you C7think that you are?D  
You should have been Esweeping,Gm  
At the emerald Dbar.
DSpread your wings and Bmfly away,
E7Fly away, Afar away.
DSpread your little wings and Bmfly away
E7Fly away, Afar away.
GmPull yourself together,
'Cause you Dknow you should do better,E  
That's becaAuse you're a Dfree man.
He spends his Bmevenings alone,
In his Ghotelroom.
AKeeping his thoughts to himself,F#  
he'd be leaving soon.
BmWishing he was mileAs and Gmiles away,
ANothing in this world, nothing,
Would F#make him stay.
G, A, D, E, E7, A  
Since he was small,
Had no luck at all,
Nothing came easy to him.
Now it was time,
He'd made up his mind,
This could be my last change
His boss said to him
Now listen boy, you're always dreaming,
You got no real ambition,
You won't get very far.
Sammy, boy don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy,
At the emerald bar?
So honey, 
Spread you wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Spread your little wings and fly away,
Fly away, far away.
Pull yourself together,
'Cause you know you should do better,
That's because your a free man.
Come on honey (fly with me)...
