Verse 1:
                    Em     C 
You're such a heavy bird
                            G     C 
You'd never get far on your own
       G                         C 
You'll never have a use for your feathers
                              G     C 
While you're hopping down the road
                          Em     C 
You were born to walk the earth
                           G     C 
With your back against the cold
           Em
And no you never had a purpose
       C                            G     C 
Till I wore you on my back like a coat
                       G      C 
You're in your evening gloves
                           G              C 
You're off the farm taking big city drugs
                                       D
No matter how far you get, let it sink in
                C         D               G      C 
That I gave you roots and baby I gave you wings
                G                    C 
Yeah I gave you roots and I gave you wings

Verse 2:
                        Em     C 
And I showed you how to swing
                    G     C 
I showed you how to strut
          G
That's my mojo you're using
       C                   Em     C 
That's my wine getting you drunk
                     Em     C 
Was I that broke you in
                             G     C 
I got you clean, clipped and cut
         Em                   C 
You're a mule among horses, I took you
                   G     C 
When God stood you up
                         G     C 
Now tell me who could do more
                   G                 C 
Set myself on fire keeping you warm
                                          D
And now I'm off the hook and he's on your chin
               C           D               G      C 
But I gave you roots, yeah baby I gave you wings
                G                    C 
Know I gave you roots and I gave you wings

a new set of chances that I wouldn't give
                 C                      D
