Verse 3

I told you I was like a bird,

a free and wild and restless thing

And even though I take a mate and

build a nest in early spring

When summer winds have had their day,

and winter clouds are flying high

Instinctively,

I spread my wings and fly

The way  (C major) you took this chance for love

and  (A major) took me just for  (D major) what I am
