She Won't Let Me Fly Away

Capo 2nd fret


E   A   E7   A


        G    D  E           A          Asus4 - A
Well, I wake up late in the afternoon.
  G   D  E           A             Asus4 - A
I eat my eggs to the evening news.
        G     D    E            A               Asus4 - A
And the sun's gone down 'fore I find my shoes,
      G     D   E            C#m     E7
Music fills the air but it's all the blues and
E                A    E7   A                A7   E7    E - D - A
She won't let me fly away, she won't let me fly away.

Well, we got no heat and the window's broke,
The storm rains came, everything got soaked.
And there's no bread left, nothing here to smoke,
Then the Lord looks down sayin', "Can't you take a joke?"
She won't let me fly away, she won't let me fly away.

    G#m                F#m          E
The palm tree's just a picture on a postcard,
    G#m            F#m             E
The ocean's just a memory in my dream.
       G#m              F#m        E
Then a man comes on the TV selling soap suds,
   Bm7         A                 E7
To dirty up my rivers and my streams.

Like a mystery movie without an end,
When you think it's over, it just begins.
It's not always true that the good guy wins.
I've been down so long that I got the bends.
She won't let me fly away, she won't let me fly away.
She won't let me fly away, she won't let me fly away.
She won't let me fly away, she won't let me fly away.
She won't let me fly away, no, no, no, no, she won't let me fly away.
She won't let me fly away, she won't let me fly away.

E - D - A
