My Songbird

Verse 

C             F      C 
Songbird in a golden cage 
C        G       C 
She'd prefer the blue 
F               C      G      C 
How I crave the liquor of her song 
C                 F       C 
Poor bird who has done no harm 
C         G         C 
What harm could she do 
F               C        G        C 
She shall be my prisoner her life long 
F                     C 
My songbird wants her freedom 
    F                 C 
Now don't you think I know 
C           Dm      Em    F 
But I can't find it in myself 
   Am         G    Am 
To let my songbird go 
F            G       C 
I just can't let her go 

C                  F         C 
O Lord, when your jeweler's eye 
        G       C 
Peers into my soul 
F             C    G        C 
O Lord, I am overcome with shame 
C                  F  C 
Take me, Lord, and purify 
C       G      C 
Heal me with a word 
F             C       G        C 
Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim 
F                     C 
My songbird wants her freedom 
    F                 C 
Now don't you think I know? 
C           Dm      Em    F 
But I can't find it in myself 
   Am         G    Am 
To let my songbird go 
F            G       C 
I just can't let her go
