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
