QUEEN : NEWS OF THE WORLD
SPREAD YOUR WINGS Written by John Deacon
D
Sammy was low
E7
Just watching the show
G Gm D
Over and over again
Knew it was time
He'd made up his mind
To leave his dead life behind
Bm
His boss said to him
Bm/A Bm/G# ( Bm/A = x0443x ; Bm/G# = 4x44xx )
"Boy you'd better begin
G A D
To get those crazy notions right out of your head
Em7 C7
Sammy who do you think that you are?
D E Gm D
You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar"
D Bm
Spread your wings and fly away
E7 A ( E7=0x2132 or 07677x )
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Gm
Pull yourself together
D
'Cos you know you should do better
xx0330 D
That's because you're a free man
Bm Bm/A Bm/G#
He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
A F#sus4 F#
Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon
Wishing he was miles and miles away
Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay
G A D xx0333 xx0434 E A
Since he was small
Had no luck at all
Nothing came easy to him
Now it was time
He'd made up his mind
"This could be my last chance"
His boss said to him, "Now listen boy!
You're always dreaming
You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far
Sammy boy, don't you know who you are?
Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?"
So honey
Spread your wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Spread your little wings and fly away
Fly away, far away
Pull yourself together
'Cos you know you should do better
That's because you're a free man
