[G] [D]
I can't imagine [G] [D] how the world would be
[G]
Not to see the great squirrel climbing [D] an oak tree
To [G]
walk through a cornfield and not see the [D] wild duck fly again
[A]
I believe before the world [G] ever got that bad
To be on my [D] knees a-cryin'
Won't you fly, [G] oh, we [D] need to fly
[C] You better [G] run, little [D] cotton tail, run
I hope you both will live long enough [Am] to [G] see the [D] setting sun
[Am] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] The lion ain't got no jungle, [G] old black bear [D] got no cage
And that old alligator [G] is just a [D] boss in his litter cage
Won't you fly, [G] oh, we [D] need to fly
You [Am] better [G] run, little [D] cotton tail, run
I hope you both will live long enough [Am] to [G] see the [D] setting sun
On [C]
[G] [D] [C]
[G] a cold winter morning I could look up in the sky
And I could see the [D] wild beast fly
And [C] on a warm spring day I could look up in the [G] air
And I could see the [D] yellow butterfly
[G] How long has it been since you heard the tiny flutter of a little wing
[D] Of a hummingbird
And [C] I once saw the picture [G] of a buffalo
A [D] thousand men to herd
Won't you fly, [G] oh, [D] we need to fly
[C] You better [G] run, [D] little cotton tail, run
I hope you both will live long [C] enough to see the [D] setting sun
Fly, [G] Mr.
[D] Eagle Fly
[G] You [Am] better [G] run, little cotton tail, run
[D] [Am] [G] [D]
