[ Предположительная тональность: D ] WHAT'S THE USE OF WINGS? Written by Brian Bedford (I know it having been performed by Vin Garbutt) Verse 1 D Bm "I could have been a giant" said the bonsai tree G Em A "But someone bound my roots and held me down." D Bm "I could have reached the Heavens" said the snowy owl G A D "But they clipped my wings and kept me on the ground." Chorus 1 G A D "I think I heard them tell me that they loved me G Em A That they'd care for me, without them I would die D Bm But what's the use of roots if you can't spread them? G A D What's the use of wings if you can't fly?" Verse 2 D Bm "I could have been a singer" said the Myna bird G Em A "But they caged me and told me what to say." D Bm "I could have run forever" said the pony G A D "But they bridled me and made me go their way." Chorus 2 G A D "I think I heard them tell me that they loved me G Em A That they'd care for me forever so it seems D Bm What's the use of voices without freedom? G A D What's the use of living other's dreams?" Bridge D Bm Why do people cage the things they love the most? G Em A Is it simply that they fear to be alone? D Bm If you give you're love it's freedom, it will stay awhile G A D If it leaves you, it was never yours to own Verse 3 D Bm "I could have found adventure" said the angelfish G Em A "Now my world's so small there's nowhere left to go." D Bm "I could have ruled a kingdom" said the lion G A D "Now this land inside my head is all I know." Chorus 3 G A D "I think I heard them tell me that they loved me G Em A That they'd care for me, and tell me it's alright D Bm But what's the use of life without adventure? G A D What's the use of strength if you can't fight?" Bridge D Bm Why do people cage the things they love the most? G Em A Is it simply that they fear to be alone? D Bm If you give you're love it's freedom, it will stay awhile G A D If it leaves you, it was never yours to own Chorus 1 G A D "I think I heard them tell me that they loved me G Em A That they'd care for me, without them I would die D Bm But what's the use of roots if you can't spread them? G A D What's the use of wings if you can't fly?"
