(C) Trouble comes and (G) goes
It's the way of life I (C) know
and when it wants to (G) stay
I can make it go (C) away
I learned it from a (F) bird,
a little trick (C) without any (Am) words at all
(G) You just have to believe
When
ever I’m
confused
or got a touch of the blues
It helps to go up high
to see the reasons why
things are the way they are
you don’t
have to go very far, at all
. . . . . . to see what's goin' on
(Chorus)
(C) I Just close my (F) eyes
and go
up to where the eagles (C) glide
where
you can't (G) hide a lie
no (F) matter how you try
(C)
I go up into the (F) sky
where
I can see with my (C) redtail eyes
Yes I’ve
got the (G) wings to fly
so
(F) high . . . . .high, high, high
When
I’m
up there like a bird
The voice of Earth can be heard
It rises up like a song
singing “we
must all get along”
rivers, mountains, you and me
all connected like leaves on a tree
From sea to shining sea
Then I come back down
'cuz I live upon the ground
and if they
ask me where I’ve been
I just say, “a
little spin”
cuz I didn’t
have a clue
I had to find myself a better view of it all
. . .
. And I feel fine now
(Repeat
Chorus Twice)
