G           B      C       G        B        C           G 
Caught a bird and let it go, had a rope and don't you know. 
G        B        C         Em            C 
When I pulled it down, it settled on the ground. 
G         B        C      G         B      C      G 
Caught a bird and in a trap, had a lot to give back. 
G         B        C       Em           C 
When the sun came by you opened up your eyes. 


Em                    C          G    D  (4x) 
Oh brother, will you let me in again? 
Oh sister, I will stumble in again. 
Oh Sophie, will you be my good friend? 
Oh Sophie will you be here in the end? 

Then you whispered in my ear, "I am lost but you're here." 
As the scene unfolded, truth got moved away. 
Caught a bird and let it go, had a rope and don't you know. 
When I pulled it down, it flew from the ground. 

Oh brother, will you let me in again? 
Oh sister, I will stumble in again. 
Oh Sophie, will you be my good friend? 
Oh Sophie, will you be here in the end? 

D               C                G 
Even though the scene was never golden. 
All the while you're bones are gotten frozen. 
D 
You stood still. 

Oh brother, will you let me in again? 
Oh sister, I will stumble in again. 
Oh Sophie, will you be my good friend? 
Oh Sophie, will you be here in the end?
