[C]Almost felt you touching [F]me just now
[C]I wish I knew which way to [G]turn and go
[C]I feel so good and then I [F]feel so bad
[G7]I wonder what I ought to[C] do [F] [C]
[CHORUS]
[F]If I could only fly, if I could [C]only fly
I’d bid this [G]place goodbye and come and be with [C]you
But I can [F]hardly stand, and I got nowhere to[C] run
Another sinking [G]sun, and one more lonely[C] night
[C]Wind keeps blowing somewh[F]ere everyday
[C]Tell me things get better s[G]omewhere up the way
[C]Just dismal thinking on a [F]dismal day
[G7]And sad songs for us to [C]bear [F] [C]
Solo over verse:
[F]If I could only fly, if we could [C]only fly
If we could o[G]nly fly, there'd be no more lonely n[C]ights
[C]You know sometimes I write happy songs
[F]Then some little thing goes wrong
[C]And I wish they all could make you s[G]mile [G7]
[C]Comin home soon and I want to stay
[F]Maybe we could somehow get away
[G]And I wish you could come with me when[C] I go again [F] [C]
[CHORUS]
[F]If I could only fly, if I could [C]only fly
I’d bid this [G]place goodbye and come and be with [C]you
But I can [F]hardly stand, and I got nowhere to[C] run
Another sinking [G]sun, and one more lonely[C] night
*I also like to play this without the capo using E, A & B7 in place of C, F & G. I alternate playing E & A
in standard open position with the following (kinda like how I've seen Merle do it playing live):
E 0x6454
A x07655
B7 x21202
[VERSE]
[E]Almost felt you touching [A]me just now
[E]I wish I knew which way to [B7]turn and go
[E]I feel so good and then I [A]feel so bad
[B7]I wonder what I ought to [E]do [A] [E]
[CHORUS]
If I could [A]only fly, if I could [E]only fly
I’d bid this [B7]place goodbye and come and be with [E]you
But I can [A]hardly stand, and I got no[E]where to run
Another [B7]sinking sun, and one more lonely [E]night
[C]I wish I knew which way to [G]turn and go
[C]I feel so good and then I [F]feel so bad
[G7]I wonder what I ought to[C] do [F] [C]
[CHORUS]
