Standard (EADGBE)

Been a whole lot of people thought me a fool

 Been a time or two i thought that i was one too

 Ain't a chain that can hold me

 Ain't a thing i won't try

 When i get through livin',i'm gonna die

Gonna die with my boots on,gonna go out in style

 With a free-wheelin' feelin' and a honky tonk smile

 And if the devil don't dodge me,gonna spit in his eye

 When i get my wings,i'm gonna fly

Gonna fly away singin' i'm gonna fly

Gonna wrap my new wings 'round

 Few feathered things in that free feelin' sky

 Gonna reach a new heaven,higher than high

 When i get my wings,hey i'm gonna fly
