Bird Of Freedom
Tift Merritt

 D         F#m
Where were you ?
G                    D
When the plane went down
G                       D
When the president was born
Bm         A            G
When they founded this town
G                     D
She was standing out back
           A               G
She could hardly hear the band

    D        C
My bird of freedom
        G          D
With a gun in her hand

D C G

Have you seen 
The parade in her eye
Hungry & hot
Like the fourth of July
What is it about her 
That you don't understand

My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand

D C G
D C G

A           G        D
Don't look back now guys
A       C                  G
As she waves and she gets small
A                            D 
With those sweet wings that beat
A            C        G
Those sweet wings atnight
C         G           C
It ain't no choice at all


Are you cool and dry 
Are you keeping warm
Shadow boxing
This thunder storm
Write me and tell me 
Where we fit in what is planned

My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
My bird of freedom
With a gun in her hand
