I [Fm]
[Bb] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb]
almost felt it touching me [Ab] just now
[Eb]
I wish I knew which way [Bb] to turn and go
[Eb] I feel so good and then I feel [Ab] so bad
[Ab] [G] [Bb]
And I wonder what I [F] [Eb] ought to do
[Eb]
If I could [Ab]
only fly, [Eb] if I could only fly I'd bid [Bb] this place goodbye
[Ebm] [Bb] To come and be [Eb] with you But I [Ab] can hardly stand
And I got [Eb] nowhere to run, [F] another [Bb]
sinking sun And one more [Eb] lonely night
[Ab] [Eb]
The wind keeps blowing somewhere
[Ab] every day Tell
[Eb]
me things get better [Bb] somewhere up the way
[Eb]
Just dismal thinking
[Ab] on a dismal day

[F]
[Bb] another sinking sun And one more [Eb]
lonely [Ab] night
[Eb]
You know sometimes I write happy songs [Ab]
Then some little thing goes wrong
And I wish they all could make [Bb] you smile Come
[D] [Eb]
in home soon and I want to [Eb] stay
[Ab]
Maybe we can somehow get away [Bb] And I wish you could come with me when I [Eb] go again
If I could [Ab] only fly, [Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] if we could only fly If [Bb] you could only fly
That'd be no more lonely [Eb] night
