[Verse 1]
G      D/F#          Em
  If I leave here to morrow
F           C              Dsus4
  Would you still remember me
G            D/F#         Em
  For I must be travelin' on now
F                        C                  Dsus4
 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
G          D/F#           Em
  But if I stay here with you girl
F             C               Dsus4

G              D/F#      Em
 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
F          C               Dsus4
  And this bird you cannot change, oh

F         C               Dsus4
  And the bird you cannot cha-ange

  Bye, bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah, yeah
F             C               Dsus4
  Though this feeling I can't change

 'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
G          D/F#           Em
  But if I stay here with you, girl

  And this bird you'll never change, oh

F         C               Dsus4
  And the bird you cannot change
F          C               Dsus4
  And this bird you cannot change
F      C             Dsus4   D
  Lord knows I can't cha     ange
F       C                Dsus4
