If I Could Only Fly Recorded by Merle Haggard written by Michael David Fuller
C F Almost felt you touching me just now C G7 I wish I knew which way to turn and go C F I feel so good and then I feel so bad G7 C I wonder what I ought to do
F C If I could only fly if I could only fly G7 C I’d bid this place goodbye and come and be with you F C But I can hardly stand and I got nowhere to run G7 C Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
F The wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday C G7 Tell me things get better somewhere up the way C F Just dismal thinking on a dismal day G7 C And sad songs for us to bare
F C If I could only fly if we could only fly G7 C If we could only fly there’d be no more lonely nights F C You know sometimes I write happy songs F Then some little thing goes wrong
C G7 And I wish they all could make you smile C Coming home soon and I wanna stay F Maybe we could somehow get away G7 C And I wish you could come with me when I go again
