This is a pretty simple song to play. It uses only the chords Em, G, D, A, and E. Em Mama told me not to waste my life G She said spread your wings, my little butterfly D Don't let what they say keep you up at night A D And if they give you shhh, then they can walk on by Em D My feet, feet can't touch the ground G And I can't hear a sound A But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah Em D Walk, walk on over there G A 'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah Em D Your words don't mean a thing G I'm not listening, keep talking A All I know is Em Mama told me not to waste my life G She said spread your wings, my little butterfly D Don't let what they say keep you up at night A And they can't detain you E 'Cause wings are made to fly G And we don't let nobody bring us down D No matter what you say it won't hurt me A Don't matter if I fall from the sky Em These wings were made to fly Em D I'm firing up on that runway G I know we're gonna get there someday A But we don't need no ready, steady, go, no Em D Talk, talk turns into air G A And I don't even care, oh yeah Em D Your words don't mean a thing G I'm not listening, keep talking A All I know is Em Mama told me not to waste my life G She said spread your wings, my little butterfly D Don't let what they say keep you up at night A And they can't detain you E 'Cause wings are made to fly G And we don't let nobody bring us down D No matter what you say it won't hurt me A Don't matter if I fall from the sky Em These wings were made to fly Em I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey G I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey D You better keep on walking, 'cause I don't wanna hear your talking, boy A You better keep on walking, 'cause I don't wanna hear your talking Em D Your words don't mean a thing G I'm not listening A Em They're just like water off my wings
