[B]
[C#] [B] Blow [E] on, you [B] restless wind, Up to [F#] your old [B] tricks again.
Bear [E] down, you [F#] Texas sun, [B] You make the deserts [F#] dry and [B] the brush fires rough.
Splintered [E] wood, [B] rusty chain, This old front [B] porch swing remains.
The pendulum [F#] of memory, [B] Goes back and forth [F#] on a [B] summer breeze.
[E] Singing old church [B] hymns and nursery [F#] rhymes, From the days way back [B] before my [E] time.
With the little [B] child upon my [F#] knee, Singing every sweet word back to me.
[E] Look how [B] far I had to cut, [F#] To get back [G#m] where I started [E] from.
With the child's [B] wisdom [E] passing time, [G#m] Singing old church [F#] hymns [B] and nursery rhymes.
I've run [E] the race, [B] I've walked the wine, I've paid the [F#] price of my [B] desire.
And the only time [E] I've known [F#] it all, [B] Was just before [F#] I [B] took a fall.
So howl, you [E] lone [B] coyote song, To fade the [F#] sapphire [B] sky dawn.
Count [E] me in, [F#] the lucky man,
[B] To send the [F#] world [B] around again.
[E] Singing old church [B] hymns and nursery rhymes, [F#] From the days way back [B] before my time.
[E] With the little [B] child upon my knee, [F#] Singing every sweet word back to me.
[E] Look how [B] far I had to cut, [F#] To get back [G#m] where I started from.
[E] With the child's [B] wisdom [E] passing time, [G#m] Singing old church [F#] hymns and [B] nursery rhymes.
[E] [B]
[F#] [B]
I've [E] [F#]
[B] [F]
always had a big imagination.
And when I was a young boy, I used to do a lot of daydreaming.
Now the way you daydream is you just go outside, lay back on the grass, look up into the clouds
in the sky, and daydream.
[C]
This morning as I watched a bird just spread [Am] its wings and fly, [C] it was then a thought came
over me and I [G] wondered why [C] can't I?
Oh [G] why, oh [C] why can't I?
[F] If I could only fly you see a lot of problems [Dm] would be gone, [F] when you think of just how
much I'd [C] save on [F] shoes alone.
If [C] I could [F] only fly [C]
[G] [C]
[G] [C] [F]
I would never tear my clothes climbing in and [Dm] out of trees.
[F] If I could fly I'd never crawl a [C] werehose [F] in my knees.
If [C] I could [F] only fly
[C] [F]
[C] I'd like love to spread my wings and streak across [Am] the sky.
[C] I'd be off to see the world if I [G] could [C] only fly.
But I'd [G] always come [C] right back.
