If I leave by, here to a (Em)mor row,

would you (C)still re mem ber (D)me?

For I must (D)be trav ’ling (Em)on now,

’cause there’s too man y plac knows es I’ve I’m got to see.

But if I (D)stayed here with (Em)you, girl,

things just (C)could n’t be the (D)same.

’Cause I’m as (D)free as a (Em)bird now.

And this (C)bird you’ll nev er (Dsus)change.

And this (C)bird you can not (D)change.

And this (C)bird you can not (D)change.

Lord (C)knows I can’t (D)change.

Lord, (C)help me, I can’t (D)change.
