Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]I sit in my cell, and I stare at the floor,
the [C]walls, the ceiling,
the bars [Em]on the door.
And [G]at times he can hear,
far [D]away, far away
The [Em]song of a [C]bird from an [B]old yesterday
The [Em]bird that he [D]found un[C]able to [B]fly
[Em]Alone in the [D]cold,
almost [C]ready to [D]die[Em]
I'm a man who once killed,
a man who must dwell
for the rest of my [C]life, all [F]alone in
[C]A p[Em]oor l[G]ittle bird he
took [D]back to his cell
And [Em]held it and [C]nursed it
[D]until it was [Em]well
For the rest of my life
there'd be six iron bars
Six iron bars [C]between
me and the [Em]stars.
But the [G]poor little bird
didn't [D]know it could fly
And [Em]much too afraid,
[C]too fea[B]rful to try.
Then the [Em]bird drew [D]strength
from a [G]man who was [Em]strong
And [Am]soon spread its [D]wings
and it [B]burst into [Em]song
I sit in my cell and I stare at the floor
The walls, the ceiling,
the bars [C]on the [Em]door
And at [G]times he can hear,
far [D]away, far away,
The [Em]song of a [C]bird from an [B]old yesterday.
At [Em]times he can [D]hear,
far [C]away, far [B]away,
The [Em]song of a [D]bird from an [C]old yester[D]day.
[Em]
