Intro 
G D-C G D-C 
 
Verse 1 
           G                                            D        C 
I am a man with both feet planted on the ground 
            G                                    D 
I'm the one they depend on to keep things tied down 
                        G                              D           C 
And when the wind blows they all need to know 
            G                                          D                      G 
I'm the daddy, the savior and I'm sorry there's a storm 
        C                                                                G 
But sometimes I don't feel that strong and a part of me surrenders 
                Am                                            D   
What the man in me has forgotten, the boy in me remembers 

                          G C                     G 
    When I could fly, when I could fly 
                      C                            G 
    Above the fields and valleys wide 
              C                                  Em   D 
    Earth below and above me sky 
                     C           D           G 
    I could do anything when I could fly 
 
Interlude 
G D-C 
 
Verse 2 
I have a boy, now he's a lot like me 
There are something's I can teach him, there's even more he teaches me 
He has the courage to challenge gravity 
He's here the sky worth, it's easy, it comes so naturally 
He has no fear of falling the way his daddy does 
Seeing him so carefree remind how it was 
 
Chorus 
    When I could fly, when I could fly 
    Above the fields and valleys wide 
    Earth below and above me sky 
    I could do anything when I could fly 
 
Bridge 
        F                                           C        
This world has gotten heavy as I've gotten older 
                  Cm                           G/B                                      D 
But when I lift this boy of mine high above my shoulders 
 
Chorus 
    I can fly, I can fly 
    Above the fields and valleys wide 
    Earth below and above me sky 
    I can do anything when I can fly
