Tom: G
G Am
Am Em
Running in the wrong direction
C G
Isn't it a long way home
Am Em
People with the wrong intentions
C G D
Isn't it a long way home
Am Em7 D
City, you are dying real slow
Am Em7 D
Country, you are calling me to go
Am Em7
Smokestacks, I don't need you no more
Fmaj7
I'm gonna fly...
[Chorus]
D G D G
To where the sky meets the land and the living is not planned
D F#m/C# Bm7 D/A C G
And the children can laugh just 'cause they're living
D G D G
I'll send for you if you ever want me to
D F#m/C# Bm7 D/A C G C G
But you'll have to find a whole new way of giving
Fiddle Break: (seriously!) (just keep strumming G)
Am Em
Running from the noise and poison
C G Am
Isn't it a long way home
Em
Wounded by a law man's toy gun
C G D
Isn't it a long way home
Am Em7 D
City, no more shadows to be seen
Am Em7 D
Country, all the sunshine you can dream
Am Em7
Smokestacks spew your sour-smelling steam
Fmaj7
I'm gonna fly...
[Chorus]
D G D G
To where the sky meets the land and the living is not planned
D F#m/C# Bm7 D/A C G
And the children can laugh just 'cause they're living
D G D G
I'll send for you if you ever want me to
D F#m/C# Bm7 D/A C G C G
But you'll have to find a whole new way of giving
[Outro]
