CHORUS:
D G
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord!
D A
Take away these chains from me!
D G
My heart is broken 'cos my spirit's not free,
D A
Lord, take away these chains from me!
Verse 1:
D G
Some birds' feathers are too bright to be caged
D A
I know I'm not that colourful, but a bird just the same
D G
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
D A
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home.
