[Dm]
[D] Sammy was low, [E] just watching the show [Em] [Gm] over and over [D] again
Knew it was time [E] he'd made up his [Em] mind to [Gm] leave his dead life [D] behind
[B] His boss said to him, [A] [Abm] boy you'd better begin
[G] To get those [A] crazy notions [D] right out of your [Em] head
Sammy, who [C] do you think that you are?
[D] You [E] should've been [G] sweeping [Gm] up the [D] emerald water
Spread your [B] wings and fly away, [E] fly away
[A] Fly away, [D] spread your little [B] wings and fly away, [E] fly away
[A] Fly [Gm] away, [D] you know you should do better
[D] That's because you're a free man
[Gm]
[D] He [Bm] spends his evenings [D] alone [Ab] in his courtyard room
[A] Keeping his thoughts to [Gb] himself, he'd be leaving soon
[Bm] Wishing he was [A]
[Ab] miles away
[A] Nothing in this world, nothing, [Gb] make him stay
[G] [A]
[D] [Gm] [Ab] [E]
[A] [D] Since he was small, [E] had no luck at all
[Em] [Bm] Nothing [Gm] came easy [D] to him
[Gm] [D] Now it was time [E] he'd made up his [G] mind
[Gm] This could be my [D] last chance
[B] His boss said to [A] him, now [Abm] listen boy, you're always dreaming
[G] You've got no [A] real ambition, [D] you won't get very far
[Em] Sammy, boy, [C] don't you know that, [D] why [E] can't you be happy?
[G] [Gm] At the emerald [D] bar, so honey spread your wings [Bm] and fly away
[E] Fly away, [A] far away,
[D] spread your little wings [Bm] and fly away, [E] fly away
[A] Fly away, [Gm] you [D] know you should do better
[E] That's [D] because you're a free man
[Gm] Come [D] on honey, fly away
