Never Got Off The Ground


CAPO 3

Intro: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2

E               Dsus2
My father was a farmer,
E                       Dsus2
but his head was in the sky.
E                       Dsus2
He worked every day but Sunday
                A     Dsus2 | A
till the day he died.

E                      Dsus2
He prayed for rain and thunder,
E                    Dsus2
and listened for the sound.
E                      Dsus2
In the dry years he went under,
                     A       Dsus2 | A
he never got off the ground.

E                       Dsus2
We all dream when we're younger
E                     Dsus2
that we will to great things.
E                    Dsus2
Me, I used to have a hunger.
                  A      Dsus2 | A
to wear a pilot's wings.


Mando solo: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A

E                      Dsus2
But the circles that I ran in
E               Dsus2
turned my head around,
E                       Dsus2
and the planes I had my plans in
                  A       Dsus2 | A
never got off the ground.

C
Don't raise your hopes;
    A
you hear so many say
     C
"The higher they get,
    G                  E  Dsus2 A
the closer they are to fly-ing away."

E   Dsus2 A
Fly high away!


Fiddle solo: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A

C
Don't raise your hopes;
    A
you hear so many say
     C
"The higher they get,
    G                  E  Dsus2 A
the closer they are to fly-ing away."

E                        Dsus2
They say they're but for fortune,
E                        Dsus2
is the way it would have been
E                         Dsus2
if we could take a bigger portion,
                    A     Dsus2 | A
and fill our hands again.


E                   Dsus2
You see them on the sidewalks
E                     Dsus2
in the parks all over town;
E                  Dsus2
those who've taken flight,
    E                 Dsus
but never got off the ground.
