Vers:
Father, tell me somethin'
where do bad men go when they die?
and mother says you'll go there but
wings for her and I. And I don't mind
ring
Cause I have always wanted to learn to...
Chorus
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
ring
Fly...
Vers:
Brother, tell me somethin'
If I take this, am I going to die?
And he says no, so then I figure what the hell
I'll try cause it's my life
ring
So light the match and you and I will...
Chorus
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly... learn to
Fly...
Cause I'm on my hands and knees I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness
And someday I'll be there I swear to you, God as my witness
For all the trusts I've broke and, let justice know, it's just that easy
ring
Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar...
Vers:
And father tell your son,
It's not your gun and bloody hands
Don't hide behind locked doors
ring
In dresser drawers those bullets wait to fly...
Chorus
Fly... wait to
Fly... wait to
Fly... wait to
ring
Fly...
Cause I'm on my hands and knees I've crawled eternity to beg forgiveness
And someday I'll be there I swear to you, God as my witness
For all the trusts I've broke and, let justice know, it's just that easy
ring
Cause I'm a liar, I conspired, I'm a liar...
The punch" (is it really called punch? Dunno, I mean the way you hit the strings)
is a bit tricky, I play it like this:
D / U u D <- which means: d = down eigth D = down quarter
u = Up eigth U = Up quarter
/ = mute
