chords

D
Sammy was low

E7
Just watching the show

G Gm D
Over and over again

Knew it was time
He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind


Bm
His boss said to him

Bm/A Bm/G# ( Bm/A = x0443x ; Bm/G# = 4x44xx )
"Boy you'd better begin

G A D
To get those crazy notions right out of your head

Em7 C7
Sammy who do you think that you are?

D E Gm D
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar"


D Bm
Spread your wings and fly away

E7 A ( E7=0x2132 or 07677x )
Fly away, far away


Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away


Gm
Pull yourself together

D
'Cos you know you should do better

xx0330 D
That's because you're a free man

Bm Bm/A Bm/G#
He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
A F#sus4 F#
Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon

Wishing he was miles and miles away
Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay

G A D xx0333 xx0434 E A

Since he was small
Had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He'd made up his mind
"This could be my last chance"
His boss said to him, "Now listen boy!
You're always dreaming
You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far
Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?"

So honey

Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Pull yourself together
'Cos you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man
