Subject: If I could only Fly   By merle haggard

If I Could Only Fly

Capo 3rd fret

C F
Almost felt you touching me just now

C G
I wish I knew which way to turn and go 

C F
I feel so good and then I feel so bad 

G C
I wonder what I ought to do

Chorus:

F C
If I could only fly If I could only fly 

G C
I d bid this place goodbye and come and be with you 

F C
But I can hardly stand and I got nowhere to run 

G C
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night

C F
Wind keeps blowin somewhere everday

C G
Tell me things get better somewhere up the way 

C F
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day

G C
And sad songs for us to bare

Chorus:

C 
You know sometimes I write happy songs

F 
Then some little thing goes wrong

C G
And I wish they all coould make you smile

C
Comin  home soon and I wanna stay 

F
Maybe we could somehow get away

G C
And I wish you could come with me when I go again

F C G
If I could only fly If we could only fly If you could only fly 

G C F C
There d be no more lonely nights
