If I Could Only Fly
By Blaze Foley
Tab by Porter Yax

D A x 2

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

[G] If I could only fly
[D] If I could only fly
[A] I'd bid this place goodbye
[D] 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] The wind keeps blowin' some [G] where every day
[D] They tell me things get better somewhere [A] up the way
[D] Just dismal thinkin' [G] on a dismal day
[A] Sad songs for us to [D] bear

[D] [G] [A] [D] x2 HARP

[D] You know sometimes I write happy songs
[G] But then sometimes little things are wrong
[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] I wish you could come with me when I [D] go again

[G] If I could only fly
[D] If I could only fly
[A] I'd bid this place goodbye
[D] 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
