This is a pretty simple song to play. It uses only the chords Em, G, D, A, and E.
Em
Mama told me not to waste my life
G
She said spread your wings, my little butterfly
D
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
A D
And if they give you shhh, then they can walk on by
Em D
My feet, feet can't touch the ground
G
And I can't hear a sound
A
But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah
Em D
Walk, walk on over there
G A
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah
Em D
Your words don't mean a thing
G
I'm not listening, keep talking
A
All I know is
Em
Mama told me not to waste my life
G
She said spread your wings, my little butterfly
D
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
A
And they can't detain you
E
'Cause wings are made to fly
G
And we don't let nobody bring us down
D
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
A
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
Em
These wings were made to fly
