D            C    G
Well a gypsy lady once told me
           D               C           G
Son you've got the kind of soul that's got to be free
   D              C          G
It ain't what you want, it's just what you need
G (let ring) -------------------------------------->
And like a black bird baby, you were born with wings


Chorus:
G        D      C    G
And as a crow flies, so do I
D        C           G
I can be gone in the blink of an eye
D           C         G
Next town's never too hard to find
     D          C        G (let ring)
It's never that far as a crow flies


G      D              C             G
Well I set it down in Tennessee and got a little juice
      D               C            G
But I caught myself a case of them Nashville blues
  D            C         G
I met a little girl that tried to tie me down
G (let ring) -------------------------------------->
So I pointed it to Hollywood and put the hammer down


Repeat Chorus


D                    C
I live on the run, I love on the prowl
  G
I never was much on hangin' around
  D          C       G
I never look back, I never look down
G (let ring) --------------------------->
I never thought once about turnin' around
