Verse 1
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, Oh oh, oh, oh
Chorus 1
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Verse 2
Bye-bye baby, it's been sweet love, yeah, yeah
Though this feelin' I can't change
But please don't take it so badly
'Cause Lord knows, I'm to blame
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, Oh oh, oh,
Chorus 2
oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
PostChorus
Lord, I can't change
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah
Fun Facts
"Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd is an epic anthem that soars with its sense of freedom and rebellion. Released in 1973, this legendary track has become a cornerstone of rock music. The song reflects themes of independence and the desire to break free, with Ronnie Van Zant's soulful vocals and evocative storytelling capturing the essence of yearning and escape.
The extended guitar solo in the latter half of the song elevates its intensity and energy. Renowned for its technical brilliance and emotional power, it creates a climactic finish that leaves a lasting impression.
The G minor pentatonic scale (or the G blues scale) works perfectly over those chords. Try to create some melodies using those scales, and see if you can come up with your own solo! Here we go!
