Chords for "AI Elvis" Covers "If I Could Only Fly" By Blaze Foley (Merle Haggard Version)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I almost stopped you, _ stopped you [A] and you just stopped
I _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ wish I knew which way [B] to turn and go
I _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ feel so good _ [A] and then I feel so bad _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
I wonder what I ought to _ [A] do
_ _ _ [C#m] _ If I could [A] only fly, _ _ _ if I [E] could only fly
_ _ _ I'd bid this [B] place goodbye, _ _ _ to [F#] come and be with [E] _ you
_ _ _ [C#m]
But I can [A] hardly stand, _ _ _ and I don't [E] know where to run
I _ _ know the sea [B] gets dark _ _ _ and one more long night
[B] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ The wind keeps blowing somewhere _ every [A] day _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Tell me things get better somewhere [B] _ [B] up the way
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ This is the beginning _ [A] of a new day _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
That's all [E] there is for us to bear
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ If _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ I could only fly, _ _ _ _ [E] if we could only fly _
_ _ If [B] we could only fly, _ there'd be no more [E] lonely nights
[A] You _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ know sometimes I write happy songs
_ [A] _ _ Then some little pain goes [E] along
_ And I wish they all _ [B] could make you smile
_ _ _ _ [E] _ Come and hum, sir, and I'm o'er to stay
_ [A] _ Maybe we can somehow get away
_ _ [B] _ _ And I wish you could come with me [E] when I go again _ _
_ _ But [A] if I could only fly, _ _ _ _ [E] if I could only fly
_ I'd bid this [B] place goodbye, [B] _
_ to come and be [E] with you _ _
_ _ [C#m] But I [A] can hardly stand, _ _ and I got [E] nowhere to run
_ _ _ [B] I know the sea gets [F#] dark [B] and one more [E] lonely [A] night _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ Thank you very much. _ _ _ _
