E 
Valley is low and the mountain is high
Sure as you’re born I’m gonna fly
D                           E
One of these days I’m gonna fly

E 
Big girls weep, little girls cry
It’s always been, don’t ask me why
D                           E
One of these days I’m gonna fly

Chorus:
G                D
To a place where men are free
G                D               E 
To a place where it’s alright to be
Just an average guy who likes to fly

Some folks curse, some folks lie 
As sure as you’re born I’m gonna fly
One of these days I’m gonna fly

It’s cold in March, hot in July
It’s always been, don’t ask me why
One of these days I’m gonna fly

Chorus

Big dogs bark, little dogs try
Sure as you’re born I’m gonna fly
One of these days I’m gonna fly

Some chickens lay, some chickens lie  
It’s always been, don’t ask me why
One of these days I’m gonna fly
