Guy Clark – To Live Is To Fly (Guitar)

F           C
Days up and down they come

F              C
like rain on a conga drum

C            G
Forget most, remember some

F                   C
but don't turn none away

F             C
Everything is not enough

    F              C
and nothin' is too much to bear

C                    G
Where you've been is good and gone

        F                   C
all you keep is the gettin' there

       F          C
Oh, to live is to fly

     F       G
Both low and high

   C                  G
So shake the dust off of your wings

        F                 C
And the sleep out of your eyes

F           C
Good-bye to all my friends

F            C
it's time to go again

C                G
Think of all the poetry

        F                C
and the pickin' down the line

F             C
I'll miss the system here

    F                    C
the bottom's low and the treble's clear

C                   G
But it don't pay to think too much

       F                C
on the things you leave behind

       F          C
Oh, to live is to fly

     F       G
Both low and high

   C                  G
So shake the dust off of your wings

        F                 C
And the sleep out of your eyes

F          C
We all got holes to fill

F                  C
and them holes are all that's real

C                G
Some fall on you like a storm

    F                  C
sometimes you dig your own

F             C
The choice is yours to make

F       C
time is yours to take

C           G
Some sail upon the sea

     F             C
some toil upon the stone

       F          C
Oh, to live is to fly

     F       G
Both low and high

   C                  G
So shake the dust off of your wings

        F                 C
And the sleep out of your eyes

C                  G
Shake the dust off of your wings

        F                 C
And the tears out of your eyes
