E                G              A
Mother why'd you have to go and clip my golden wings
          G            A                E
I'm gonna fly off this building all the same
E                      G             A
You put me down in the darkest well, still that water stings
          G            A                E
I'm gonna fly off this building all the same ... etc

Once the vocals kick in on the bridge the banjo plays:
