F C7 F C7 There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow, F C7 F C7 And I'm sad as a man can be. F F7 A# A#dim7 I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room, F C7 F A# F And this room is a prison to me. Chorus: C7 F A# F I look out my window, and what do I see? C7 F A# F I see a bird, way up in a tree. F C7 A# Dm I wanna be free, free free-ee-ee. G7 C7 F A# F I wanna be free, like the bird in the tree. What good are my eyes, they can't see you. And my arms, they can't hold you so tight. I have two lips that are yearning, But they're no good to me, 'Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight. Chorus: I look out my window, and what do I see? I see a bird, way up in a tree. I wanna be free, free free-ee-ee. I wanna be free, like the bird in the tree. I wanna be free, like the bird in the tree.
