 G              D 
We will fly
               Em 
Way up high
                     C                G 
Where the cold wind blows
                D 
Or in the sun
   Em      C 
Laughing having fun
                                  G 
With the people that she knows
                       D 
And if the situation
                   C 
Should keep us separated       
             D                                          G 
You know the world won't fall apart
                  D                   C 
And you will free the beautiful bird
                          G 
That's caught inside your heart  
                        C 
Can't you hear her?
                        G 
Oh she cries so loud
                        C 
Casts her wild note
                        G 
Over water and cloud


[Chorus]

 C          G              Am        F          C 
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
          G             Am     F            C 
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    G         Am         F         C 
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           G         Am          F             G 
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up


[Interlude]

 D  -   C   -   G 


[Verse]

                D 
You will grow
                    C 
And until you go
                                    G 
I'll be right there by your side
                D 
And even then
                    G 
Whisper the wind
             C                    G 
And she will carry up your ride
           D                        C 
I hear all the people of the world
                          G 
In one bird's lonely cry
               D                          C 
See them trying every way they know how
                     G 
To make their spirit fly
                     C 
Can't you see him?
                           G 
He's down on the ground
                       C 
He has a broken wing
                     G 
Looking all around 


[Chorus]

 C          G              Am        F          C 
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'

We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    G         Am         F         C 
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           G         Am          F                   
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
