C/G
1. This morning as I watched a bird
Am
Just spread its wings and fly
C/G
It was then a thought came over me
G7 C/G
And I wondered why can't I ?
G7 C/G
Oh why,oh why can't I ?

2. If I could only fly,you see
Dm
A lot of problems would be gone
F
When you think of just how much
C7 F
I'd save on shoes alone
C7 F
If I could only fly
F
3. I would never tear my clothes
Dm
Climbing in and out of trees
F
If I could only fly,I'd never crawl
C7 F
Or wear holes in my knees
C7 F
If I could only fly
C/G
4. How I'd love to spread my wings
Am
And streak across the sky
C/G
I'd be off to see the world
G7 C/G
If I could only fly
G7 C/G
But I'd always come right back
