Where were you

When the plane went down

She could hardly hear the band

My bird of freedom
C
With a gun in her hand
Bb F
My bird of freedom
C Bb F C
With a gun in her hand

The parade in her eye

Hungry and hot

That you don't understand

My bird of freedom

My bird of freedom

Those sweet wings at night

How those sweet wings fly
Bb F C Bb F
It ain't no choice at all
C Em F
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

Me and my bird of freedom

My bird of freedom
