Verse 1
E                    B               E
There's no joy in my heart,only sorrow
         E        B       E
And I'm sad as a man can be
       E           B              C#m    A
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room
         E         B         E

And this room is a prison to me

Chorus 1
          B
I look at window
            E
and what to I see
        B
I see a bird
              E
way up in the tree
             C#m  B
I want to be free free
A
Free - ee - ee - ee
             E
I want to be free
         B           E
like the bird in the tree
