Bbm Ab Eb
They don’t know how I feel inside
Bbm Ab Eb
Through my smile I cry
Bbm Ab Eb
They don’t know what they do to me
Bbm Ab Eb
Keeping me from flyin’
(Thats why I say that)
Ab F# F
I know why the caged bird sings
Bbm Ab Eb
Only joy comes from song
Ab F# F
She’s so rare and beautiful to others
Bbm Ab Eb
Why not just set her free
Ab F# F
So she can fly, fly, fly
Ab F# F
Spreadin’ her wings and her song
Ab F# F
Let her fly, fly, fly
Bbm Ab Eb
For the whole world to see
Ab F# F
Ab F# F
She’s like a caged bird
Ab F# F

Ab F# F
Oh, she’s a little fly, She’s a little fly,
She’s a little fly
Ab F# Fmaj7
Spread wings, Spread beauty
