Capo: 4
Tuning: E A D G B E
CAlmost felt you touching Fme just now
CI wish I knew which way to Gturn and go
CI feel so good and then I Ffeel so bad
G7I wonder what I ought toC do F C
Chorus:
FIf I could only fly, if I could Conly fly
I’d bid this Gplace goodbye and come and be with Cyou
But I can Fhardly stand, and I got nowhere toC run
Another sinking Gsun, and one more lonelyC night
CWind keeps blowing somewhFere everyday
CTell me things get better sGomewhere up the way
CJust dismal thinking on a Fdismal day
G7And sad songs for us to Cbear F C
Solo over verse:
FIf I could only fly, if we could Conly fly
If we could oGnly fly, there'd be no more lonely nCights
CYou know sometimes I write happy songs
FThen some little thing goes wrong
CAnd I wish they all could make you sGmile G7
CComin home soon and I want to stay
FMaybe we could somehow get away
GAnd I wish you could come with me whenC I go again F C
Chorus:
FIf I could only fly, if I could Conly fly
I’d bid this Gplace goodbye and come and be with Cyou
But I can Fhardly stand, and I got nowhere toC run
Another sinking Gsun, and one more lonelyC night
*I also like to play this without the capo using E, A & B7 in place of C, F & G. I alternate playing E & A
in standard open position with the following (kinda like how I've seen Merle do it playing live):
E 0x6454
A x07655
B7 x21202
