Verse:

^CIt's your moment, your time; we have asked for your input You can say whatever you ^Gwant.

For one shining second, you're offered the spotlight

You can choose to ^Ftake it, or ^Cnot ^CYou might think you are funny, or being ironic But it's an old joke we've all ^Fheard And when it ^Gcomes to it really, when all's said and done You're still the ^Fguy who yelled ^CFreebird

Chorus: (Why did you yell?)

^CFreebird, Freebird, you are the guy who yelled ^GFreebird Freebird, Freebird, ^Fnobody wants to hear ^CFreebird

Verse:

^CIt's the first thing that comes into everyone's mind Unless they have something to ^Gsay

No one is laughing except in disgust

And the band wants you ^Fto go ^Caway ^CI know you don't want us to really play Skynyrd The request is, at this point, ab^Fsurd ^GEven if your bros are patting your back You're still the ^Fguy who yelled ^CFreebird

Chorus: (Why did you yell?)

^CFreebird, Freebird, you are the guy who yelled ^GFreebird Freebird, Freebird, ^Fnobody wants to hear ^CFreebird

Verse:

^CYou don't understand, you see, we're in a band And we hear that damn joke every ^Gday

Did you notice your wife has let go of your hand

And your ^Ffriends are all backing ^Caway? ^CI'm not saying it's fair, but everyone's thinking You're a jerk or a prick or a ^Fturd If I ^Gleave here tomorrow You'll still be the ^Fguy who yelled ^CFreebird

Chorus: (Why did you yell?)

^CFreebird, Freebird, you are the guy who yelled ^GFreebird Freebird, Freebird, ^Fnobody wants to hear ^CFreebird
