Im Gonna Fly

E                      A
Seven years old in my radio flyer
     E                   B        
Red cape tied around my neck, top 
    E
of Thompson's hill
       A                     E    
Billy said I was a liar and now 
         B            E
I'm scared half to death
E                    A
Becky said Billy was dumb I 
shouldn't listen to him
E                       B
But I had something to prove
E                   A
Ain't nobody gonna call me a chicken
      E            B      E
Gotta do what you gotta do

          C#m  A  B  E
I'm gonna fly - - - -
  A             B     E
Defy space and gravity
          C#m  A  B  E
I'm gonna fly - - - -
A          B            E
Billy just you wait and see

E                       A
I was just a kid barely 18 years
       E                    B  
And I couldn't wait to graduate, 
   E
confident and cocky
     A                         
And man it really got me when I 
  E        B       E
heard my daddy say
Continues after the ad
E                                 
You oughtta get some knowledge, 
   A
you gotta go to college
       E                      B
Gotta make something of your life
       E                      
But I had to do it my way so I 
  A
headed for the highway
       E             B          
And I followed those little white 
   E
lines

          C#m  A  B  E
I'm gonna fly
  A             B     E
Defy space and gravity
          C#m  A  B  E
I'm gonna fly
A         B         E
Making my own destiny

        B                        
Well I crashed and I burned but I 
  A
don't regret it
     E                      B
You only fail if you don't try
           C#m                   
I'm gonna brush off the ashes and 
  B
just forget it
        F#m             G#m       
I ain't perfect yet but you can 
       A             B            
bet someday I'm gonna get my wings
    E
 and fly
