[Verse]

D D E7 E7
Sammy was low - Just watching the show
G G Gm Gm D D
Over and over a- gain
D D E7 E7
Knew it was time - He'd made up his mind
G G Gm Gm D D
To leave his dead life be- hind
Bm Bm
His boss said to him
Bm/A Bm/A Bm/G# Bm/G#
"Boy you'd better begin
G G A A D D
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Em7 Em7 C7 C7
Sammy who do you think that you are?
D D E E Gm Gm D D
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar"


[Chorus]

D D Bm Bm
Spread your wings and fly away
E7 E7 A A
Fly away, far away
D D Bm Bm
Spread your little wings and fly away
E7 E7 A A
Fly away, far away

Gm Gm
Pull yourself together
D D
'Cos you know you should do better
Bb-5/D D thema*
That's because you're a free man

Bm Bm Bm/A Bm/A Bm/G# Bm/G#
He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
A A F#sus4 F#sus4 F# F#
Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon
Bm Bm Bm/A Bm/A Bm/G# Bm/G#
Wishing he was miles and miles awa- y
A A F#sus4 F#sus4 F# F#
Nothing in this world, nothing would make him sta- y

Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar" So honey
