As recorded by Willie Nelson (From the 2025 Album OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD) [Intro] G C/G G C/G G [Verse 1]
            C     G
The hour is early

                   C     G
The whole world is quiet

            C                    G     C  G
A beautiful morning's about to ignite

              C      G
I'm ready for danger

                 C   G
I'm ready for fire

                  C                   G
I'm ready for something to lift me up higher
[Chorus]
C            D
 Life's been good, I guess

Em
 My ragged old heart's been blessed

C             D                   Em
 With so much more than meets the eye

C                       D
I've got a past I won't soon forget

Em
 You ain't seen nothing yet

C          D               G   C  G  C  G
 I'm still learning how to fly
[Verse 2]
                       C       G
It's your dreams that die hard

                     C     G
With these habits to break

                   C
You can't let down your guard

                G             C  G
When there's so much at stake

               C      G           C    G
I'm halfway to heaven, halfway to hell

                   C
But I might roll a seven

              G
You never can tell
[Chorus]
C            D
 Life's been good it's true

Em
 When I'm feeling just like new

C             D                Em
 The same old rules need not apply

           C                   D
I've got a past full of sticks and stones

Em
 And a good feeling in my bones

C          D               G
 I'm still learning how to fly
[Bridge]
D                  C D
 I wanna go faster

                        G C
I don't wanna slow down

                                          D    C D
I don't wanna get off of this merrygoround

                     C D
I wanna be reckless

                G C
I wanna be vain

                                    D
I wanna make love like a runaway train
[Chorus]
C            D
 Life's been good I said

Em
 I'm 10,000 miles ahead

C          D                 Em
 The day I rest is the day I die

C                         D
I've got a past like a broken wing

Em
 But you ain't seen anything

C          D               Em
 I'm still learning how to fly

C          D               G
 I'm still learning how to fly
[Outro] C/G G C/G G
