A G Sober in the morning light D Things look so much different A E To how they looked last night A G A pale face pressed to an unmade bed D Like flags of many nations flying A high above her head The cellophane still on the flowers The telegram still in her hand As whispers circulate all day Their back-stage baby princess passed away Chorus: C#m G#m And you can cage the songbird Bm F#m But you can't make her sing C#m G#m And you can trap the free bird Bm F#m But you'll have to clip her wings E E7 E E7 `Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies E D E A But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies G D A Ooh! ooh! Promises of no more lies Fell flat upon an empty stage Before the audience arrived A return in time to the cheaper seats She never knew what lay beneath Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets Let down before the final curtain A shallow heart that left her cold She left in rouge upon the mirror A circled kiss to the faithful fans who'd miss her Chorus: And you can cage the songbird But you can't make her sing And you can trap the free bird But you'll have to clip her wings Because she'll soar like a hawk when she flies But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA C#m D E E7 F#m G G#m Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
