If I Could Only Fly chords by Merle Haggard

Chords with lyrics

C majorC            FF
Almost felt you touching me just now
C majorC             G+G
I wish I knew which way to turn and go
C majorC             FF
I feel so good and then I feel so bad
G7G7           C majorC    FF    C majorC
I wonder what I ought to do


Chorus:
FF                C majorC
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
       G+G                 C majorC
I’d bid this place goodbye and come and be with you
     FF                 C majorC
But I can hardly stand, and I got nowhere to run
        G+G            C majorC
Another sinking sun, and one more lonely night

C majorC            FF
Wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday
C majorC             G+G
Tell me things get better somewhere up the way
C majorC             FF
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day
G7G7           C majorC    FF    C majorC
And sad songs for us to bear

Solo over verse:

FF                C majorC
If I could only fly, if we could only fly
       G+G                  C majorC
If we could only fly, there'd be no more lonely nights


C majorC
You know sometimes I write happy songs
FF
Then some little thing goes wrong
C majorC                  G+G   G7G7
And I wish they all could make you smile
C majorC
Comin home soon and I want to stay
FF
Maybe we could somehow get away
G+G                   C majorC      FF   C majorC
And I wish you could come with me when I go again


Chorus:
FF                C majorC
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
       G+G                 C majorC
I’d bid this place goodbye and come and be with you
     FF                 C majorC
But I can hardly stand, and I got nowhere to run
        G+G            C majorC
Another sinking sun, and one more lonely night
