D Sammy was low E7 Just watching the show G Gm D Over and over again D Knew it was time E7 Heʼd made up his mind G Gm D To leave his dead life behind Bm His boss said to him Bm "Boy youʼd 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 shouldʼve been sweeping up the Emerald Bar" D Bm Spread your wings and fly away E7 A Fly away, far away D Spread your little wings E7 And fly away G Gm D Fly away, far away Gm Pull yourself together D ʼCos you know you should do better D Thatʼs because youʼre a free man Bm He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room A F#sus4 F# Keeping his thoughts to himself, heʼd be leaving soon Bm Wishing he was miles and miles away A F#sus4 F# Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay G A D E A D Since he was small E7 Had no luck at all G Gm D Nothing came easy to him D Now it was time E7 Heʼd made up his mind G Gm D "This could be my last chance" Bm His boss said to him, Bm "Now listen boy! G A D Youʼre always dreaming Em7 C7 Youʼve got no real ambition, you wonʼt get very far D E Gm D Sammy boy, donʼt you know who you are? D Bm Why canʼt you be happy at the Emerald Bar?" E7 A So honey D Spread your little wings E7 And fly away G Gm D Fly away, far away Gm Pull yourself together D ʼCos you know you should do better D Thatʼs because youʼre a free man
