Capo on 4 (Key of E)
Intro:
There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow,
And I'm as sad as a man can be.
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room,
And this room is a prison to me.
Chorus:
I look out my window, and what do I see?
I see a bird, way up in a tree.
I wanna be free, free... free-ee-ee.
I wanna be free, like the bird in the tree.
What good are my eyes, they can't see you.
And my arms, they can't hold you so tight.
I have two lips that are yearning,
but they're no good to me,
'Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight.
chorus
