G    D  E           A          A7sus4
Well, I wake up late in the afternoon.
A G   D  E             A            A7sus4
I eat my eggs with the evening news.
A       G     D    E             A             A7sus4
And the sun's gone down before I find my shoes.
A     G     D   E             C#m          E7/B bass
Music fills the air, but it's all the blues.

[Chorus]

E                A        E
She won't let me fly away,
A                         E D
she won't let me fly away.

[Verse 2]

         G   D  E            A              A7sus4
Well, we got no heat and the window's broke,
A   G     D     E          A                A7sus4
The storm rains came, everything got soaked.
A           G  D     E             A             A7sus4
And there's no bread left, nothing here to smoke,
A        G    D     E             C#m          E7/B
Then the Lord looks down saying, "Can't you take a joke?"

[Chorus]

E                A        E
She won't let me fly away,
A                         E D A
she won't let me fly away.

[Bridge]

    G#m                F#m          E
The palm tree's just a picture on a postcard,

    G#m            F#m          E
The ocean's just a memory in my dream.
       G#m         F#m        E
Then a man comes a TV selling soapsuds
   D           A             E
To dirty up my rivers and my streams.
       G   D   E         A          Asus4
Like a mystery movie without an end.
A        G     D    E        A           A7sus4
When you think it's over, it just begins.
A        G D    E             A             A7sus4
It's not always true that the good guy wins,
A      G    D  E           C#m     E7/B
I been down so long that I got the bends.

[Chorus]

E                A        E   A                         E
She won't let me fly away,    she won't let me fly away.
E                A        E   A                         E
She won't let me fly away,    she won't let me fly away.
E                A        E   A                         E
She won't let me fly away,    she won't let me fly away.
E                A        E   A                         E
She won't let me fly away,    she won't let me fly away.
