i'm gonna fly Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Dir[G]k
Thornton thinks he's a goose.
It's all right, though, because we let [Am]him.
[D]We all
[G]know that gooses [Bm]don't hurt nobody,
except [G]themselves, [Bm]sometimes.
[G]Of we all do
admit that
Dirk's a little differ[Em]ent.
Long [G]about the first day
of winter every year for
as long as I can remember,
Dirk, like [D]all good gooses,
decides to [G]fly [Bm]south.
Now he
goes [G]home and he packs himself six or eight peanut
[D]butter sandwiches [G]and he puts them
in this brown paper sack.
He kisses his wife and his kids goodbye
and he walks about a
mile and a half from his house and climbs
up to the top of this big [D]hill an[G] d he jumps
off.
It's a kind of a beautiful sight to see dirt
come bar[D]reling off the top of that hill,
his arms a -flappin' in the [G]breeze,
and the sound of them peanut
butter sandwiches
bangin' around inside that
brown paper bag,
[D]well, I'll tell you,
it'll bring tears to your eyes.
[G]Last winter,
Dirk flew, oh, about six feet
before he went and crashed in those peanut
butter [Bb]sandw[Fdim]iches.[E]
[Em]Dirk
Thornton [G]thinks he's a goose.
It's all right, though,
cause we let [D]him.
Valleys low and the mountains high,
Shores you are born, I'm gonna fly,
[C]One of these days, I'm gonna [D]fly.
Big girls weep, little girls cry,
It's always been, don't ask me why,
[C]One of these days, I'm gonna [D]fly.
To [F]a place where m[C]en are free
To [F]a place where i[C]t's all right to b[D]e
Just an average guy who likes to fly
Some folks cuss, some folks lie
Sure as you're born, I'm gonna fly
[C]One of these days, I'm gonna [D]fly
It's cold in
March, hot in
July
It's always been, don't ask me why
[C]One of these days I'm gonna [D]fly
To [F]a place where m[C]en are free
To [F]a place where i[C]t's alright to b[D]e
Just an average guy who
likes to [C]fly[D][C]
[D]
Big dogs bark, little dogs try
Sure as you're born, I'm gonna fly
[C]One of these days I'm gonna [D]fly
Some chickens lay, some chickens lie
It's always been, don't ask me why
[C]One of these days I'm gonna [D]fly
To [F]a place where m[C]en are free
To [F]a place where i[C]t's alright to b[D]e
Just an average guy
Who likes to fly?
