  D                        G 
I almost felt you touchin' me just now 
  D                     A 
I wish I knew which way to turn and go 
  D                  G 
I feel so good and I feel so bad 
A                    D 
Wonder what I oughta do 

           G 
If I could only fly 
                D 
If I could only fly 
             A 
I'd bid this place goodbye 
            D          D7 
To come and be with you 
          G 
But I can hardly stand 
               D 
Got nowhere to run 
        A 
Another sinkin' sun 
                D 
One more lonely night 

D                                G 
The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day 
D                                        A 
They tell me things get better somewhere up the way 
D                       G 
Just dismal thinkin' on a dismal day 
A                D 
Sad songs for us to bear 



(D) (G) (A) (D) x2 HARP 





         D 
You know sometimes I write happy songs 
G 
But then sometimes little things are wrong 
D                              A 
You know I wish they all could make you smile 
D 
Tomorrow maybe we can get away 
G 
I'm coming home soon and I want to stay 
       A                           D 
I wish you could come with me when I go again 

           G 
If I could only fly 
                D 
If I could only fly 
             A 
I'd bid this place goodbye 
            D          D7 
To come and be with you 
          G 
But I can hardly stand 
               D 
Got nowhere to run 
        A 
Another sinkin' sun 
                D 
One more lonely night 

           G 
If I could only fly 
             D 
If You could only fly 
            A 
If we could only fly 
                   D 
There'd be no more lonely nights
