Never Got Off The Ground
CAPO 3
Intro: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2
[E]My father was a [Dsus2]farmer,
[E]but his head was in the [Dsus2]sky.
[E]He worked every day but [Dsus2]Sunday
A Dsus2 | A
till the day he died.
[E]He prayed for rain and [Dsus2]thunder,
[E]and listened for the [Dsus2]sound.
[E]In the dry years he wen[Dsus2]t under,
A Dsus2 | A
he never got off the ground.
[E]We all dream when we're [Dsus2]younger
[E]that we will to great [Dsus2]things.
[E]Me, I used to have a [Dsus2]hunger.
A Dsus2 | A
to wear a pilot's wings.
Mando solo: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A
[E]But the circles that I [Dsus2]ran in
[E]turned my head a[Dsus2]round,
[E]and the planes I had my [Dsus2]plans in
A Dsus2 | A
never got off the ground.
[C]Don't raise your hopes;
you [A]hear so many say
"The [C]higher they get,
the [G]closer they are to [E]fly[Dsus2]-ing a[A]way."
[E]Fly [Dsus2]high a[A]way!
Fiddle solo: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A
[C]Don't raise your hopes;
you [A]hear so many say
"The [C]higher they get,
the [G]closer they are to [E]fly[Dsus2]-ing a[A]way."
[E]They say they're but for [Dsus2]fortune,
[E]is the way it would have [Dsus2]been
[E]if we could take a bigger [Dsus2]portion,
A Dsus2 | A
and fill our hands again.
[E]You see them on the [Dsus2]sidewalks
[E]in the parks all over [Dsus2]town;
[E]those who've taken [Dsus2]flight,
but [E]never got off the [Dsus]ground.
Outro: A | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A
