Intro: G  F (2X)

G                 F
  My father was a farmer
G                         F
  But his head was in the sky
G                        F
  He worked everyday but Sunday
                C   C/F  C  C/F
‘Til the day he died


G                        F
  He prayed for rain and thunder
G                      F
  And listened for the sound
G                          F
  In the dry years he went under
                     C    C/F  C  C/F
He never got off the ground


G                         F
  We all dream when we’re younger
G                       F
  That we will do great things
G                      F
  Me, I used to have a hunger
                  C    C/F  C  C/F
To wear a pilot’s wings


Instrumental break (mandolin) 
F  G  F  G  F  G  C C/F G


G                         F 
  But the circle’s that I ran in
G                 F
  Turned my head around
G                         F
  And the planes I had my plans in
                  C     C/F  C     
Never got off the ground

Chorus: 
D#
Don’t raise your hopes
    C
You hear so many say
 D#
The higher they get
    A#                 G*      C*
The closer they are to flying away
Em*     G*
Fly a - way..


Instrumental break (violin) over verse


Chorus: 
D#
Don’t raise your hopes
    C
You hear so many say
 D#
The higher they get
    A#                 G*      C*
The closer they are to flying away


G                         F 
  They say there but for fortune
G                          F 
  Is the way it would have been
G                           F 
  If we could take a bigger portion
                    C    C/F  C  C/F     
We’d fill our hands again


G                     F
  You see them on the sidewalks   
G                       F
  In the parks all over town
G                    F    
  Those who’ve taken flight
Em        Dm      C     C  C-CM-G F C
Never got off the ground
