Alecia Elliott
SONG:  "Some People Fall, Some People Fly"
ALBUM:  I'm Diggin' It
Writers:  Matraca Berg/Randy Scruggs


It's gettin' kinda hard now to pick a favorite Alecia song.  This is another
great song! Btw, I'm not so sure about the "G/B" chord in the chorus, but it
does sound right when you sing the word "here" along with it. I dunno, my
ears are just now gettin' good at doing this stuff.  Anyway, have fun ya'll!

Capo 1st Fret/Key of "C#"

G/B - x20033
Am7 - x02010
G/F#- 220033

Intro:  G  Am  F  C    G  Am  F  C


           G        Am    F   C
It was a long, hard road
        G     Am    F   C
It was all uphill
           G      Am    F   C
We nearly lost our way
           G       Am    F   C
We nearly lost our will
        G          Am     F   C
So we clung to the rocks
               G        Am     F   C
Oh, where the cold winds blow
      G            Am          F
'Til love gave us strength to finally let go

--Chorus

     G           Am              F      C
We climbed that mountain and we got so high
              G         Am        F           C
Then on the wings of an angel we took to the sky
    G/B          Am7       F           G
Out here on the edge love dared us to try
       Am          F        G/F#         C      G  Am  F  C
Baby, some people fall, but some people fly


 G         Am    F   C
Many they fall
    G    Am       F    C
For passion's kiss
    G         Am    F    C
And many they say
         G        Am    F    C
Is this all there is?
         G         Am    F    C
Well, it never was easy
   G       Am    F    C
To rise above
    G     Am      F
To look into the eyes of love

--Repeat Chorus (play "F" instead of "G Am F C"/go to bridge)

--Bridge

          G             Em
And baby love has no fear
 Am        F         Am
Leap and a net will appear

--Solo->  G  Am  F  C    G  Am  F  C    G  Am  F  C    G  Am  F

--Chorus

          G           Am              F       C
Well, we climbed that mountain and we got so high
              G         Am        F           C
Then on the wings of an angel we took to the sky
    G/B          Am7       F           G
Out here on the edge love dares us to try
       Am          F        G/F#         C      G  Am  F
Baby, some people fall, but some people fly
             G  Am  F  C    G  Am  F
Some people fly
     C       G  Am  F  C    G  Am  F  C
Some people fly
