(ver. 1)
The Wailin Jennys
C                                 G
I hear a bird chirping up in the sky, 
C                                G                 C
I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high. 
C                                      G
I see the river flowing, water running by, 
C                           G                C
I'd like to be that river, see what I might find. 
F                            C
I feel the wind a-blowing, slowly changing time, 
                                G                  C
I'd like to be that wind, I'd swirl and shape the sky. 
F                               C
I smell the flowers blooming, opening for spring, 
                               G         C
I'd like to be those flowers, open to everything.

C                                                    G
I feel the seasons change: the leaves, the snow and sun. 
C                              G            C
I'd like to be those seasons, made up and undone. 
C                                               G
I taste the living earth, the seeds that grow within, 
C                             G                C
I'd like to be that earth, a home where life begins. 
F                            C
I see the moon a-rising, reaching into night, 
                               G               C
I'd like to be that moon, a knowing, glowing light. 
F                           C
I know the silence as the world begins to wake, 
                            G                C
I'd like to be that silence as the morning breaks.

C                                 G
I hear a bird chirping up in the sky, 
C                                G                 C
I'd like to be free like that, spread my wings so high. 
C                                      G
I see the river flowing, water running by, 
C                           G                C
I'd like to be that river, see what I might find. 
F                            C
I feel the wind a-blowing, slowly changing time, 
                                G                  C
I'd like to be that wind, I'd swirl and shape the sky. 
F                               C
I smell the flowers blooming, opening for spring, 
                               G         C
I'd like to be those flowers, open to everything.
