[Bb] [C]
McPie, McPie, I sit here watching the world go by
I wonder do you ever question [F] why?
[Bb]
Oh Crow, Crow, I'm sitting here wondering why
You know you've seen more of the day than I could dream
And I do not know what I tell you
[F] I do not [Bb] know what I said [F] to you
I do not know [Bb] what would set you free
But [Bb] it's a hard, hard fight
A hard, hard fight
And I'm turning this one in
I'm turning this one in
I won't turn back, I see in the [F] sun
I won't turn back, not for anyone
I see in the sun [Bb] and I know what is mine
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Yeah, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Blue Jay, Blue [Fm] Jay, [Bb] I don't think you mean quite [Fm] what you say
[Bb] I don't think you're [Ab] the friend [Bb] you claim to [F] [Fm] be
[Bb] Oh Crow, [Fm] Crow, [Bb] will you tell me please, tell me please
[Fm] Why you know [Bb] you've seen more of the [Fm] world than I [Bb] could dream
[F]
[Bb] But I do not know what I tell you
I do not know what I said to you
I do not know what would set you free
But it's a hard, hard [F] fight
A [Bb] [F] hard, hard fight
And [Bb] I'm turning this one in
I'm turning this [F] one in
I [Bb] won't turn back, I see in the sun
I won't turn back, not for anyone
I see in the sun and I know I am free
[Fm]
What [Bb] a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
[Ab] I
[Bb] am freedom
[Bbm]
[F]
[Bb] Silence me and I won't be here anymore
You silence me and I won't be [C] here anymore.
[Bb]
You silence me and I won't be here anymore.
You silence me and I won't be [F] here anymore.
[Bb] You [F]
[Bb]
silence me and I won't be here anymore.
