I'm Gonna Fly - Paul Brandt
Intro: E A E B (since the CD fades in this is what I play for the intro)
[E]Seven years old in my r[A]adio flyer
Red c[E]ape tied around my n[B]eck, top of T[E]hompson's hill
Billy s[A]aid I was a liar and n[E]ow I'm scared [B]half to death[E]
[E]Becky said Billy was [A]dumb I shouldn't listen to him
[E]But I had something to p[B]rove
[E]Ain't nobody gonna c[A]all me a chicken
Gotta [E]do what you g[B]otta do[E]
I'm gonna [C#m]fly -[A] - [B]- -[E]
De[A]fy space and g[B]ravity[E]
I'm gonna [C#m]fly -[A] - [B]- -[E]
[A]Billy just [B]you wait and [E]see
[E]I was just a kid barely [A]18 years
And I c[E]ouldn't wait to gradu[B]ate, c[E]onfident and cocky
And m[A]an it really got me when I h[E]eard my d[B]addy say[E]
[E]You oughtta get some knowledge, you g[A]otta go to college
Gotta m[E]ake something of your l[B]ife
But I h[E]ad to do it my way so I h[A]eaded for the highway
And I f[E]ollowed those [B]little white l[E]ines
I'm gonna [C#m]fly -[A] - [B]- -[E]
De[A]fy space and g[B]ravity[E]
I'm gonna [C#m]fly -[A] - [B]- -[E]
[A]Making my [B]own destin[E]y
Well I c[B]rashed and I burned but I d[A]on't regret it
You o[E]nly fail if you don't t[B]ry
I'm gonna b[C#m]rush off the ashes and j[B]ust forget it
