A bird without wings

Intro: [D] [D] [A] [A] [E] [E9] [A]

[A] Like a bird without wings
That longs to be [E] flying
Like a motherless [D] child
Left lonely and [A] cry – [E] ing
Like a song without [A] words
Like a world without [E] mu – [D] sic
I wouldn’t know what to [A] do; I’d be lost without [E] you,
watchin’ [E7] over [A] me [D]

[A]

[A] I get so lone- ly
[E] when you’re aw - ay
[D] I count every mo-ment
[A] I wait every [E] Day
[A] Until you’re home a-gain
[D] And hug me so tight
[A] That’s when I [E] know, everything is al- [A] right. [D]


[A] Line a bird without wings
That longs to be [E] fly - ing
Like a motherless [D] child
Left lonely and [A] cry – [E] ing
Like a song without [A] words
Like a world without [E] mu – [D] sic
I wouldn’t know what to [A] do; I’d be lost without [E] you,
watchin’ [E7] over [A] me [D]

[A]

[A] You’re my guardian an-gel
[E] My light and my guide
[D] Your hand on my should - er
[A] And you by my [E] side
[A] You make everything beau – ti - ful
[D] You make me comp - lete
[A] Everything in my [E] world, I’ll lay at your [A] feet [D]

[A] Like a church with no [D] steep - le
Where a bell never [A] rings
In a town without [E] peo - ple, where no voice in the choir ever [A] sings
If a boat on the [D] oc - ean
would be lost with no [A] sail
then without your de- [E] vo - tion
surely [E7] all that dreamed of would [A] fail

watchin’ [F7] over [B7] me

[Eb] I wouldn’t know what to [Bb] do; I’d be lost without [F] you …….
Watchin’ [F7] over [Bb] me [Bb]
