*whistling*
C Am Em G C Am Em 2x

Willie was from Birmingham
Em G
Had the world in his hands

An office job, a bank account, and a pretty wife
C Am
Friday would come too soon
Em G
He would fly to the moon

His old lady never knew
Em
What he was talkin' about
[Chorus]
F G
Oh, but don't you fly away boy
F C G
No, don't you fly away
F G
No, don't you fly away boy
C Am Em G
You know, everything will be okay
C Am Em
C Am
Monday and he's back to work
Em G
Shiny shoes, a tie and a shirt
C Am
Everybody loved him so
Em
He had a beautiful smile
C Am
A good rapport, a pat on the back
Em G
Got his name on the company plaque
C Am
But nobody seemed to know
Em
That ol' Willie could fly
[Chorus]
F G
Oh, but don't you fly away boy
F C G
No, don't you fly away

No, don't you fly away boy

Yeah, you know, everything will be okay

C Am Em G C Am Em 2x
C Am
Willie was a noble man
Em G
When he lived in Birmingham
C Am
But he was losin' his mind
Em
In a world of his own
C Am
Willie left on a rainy day
Em G
Wings spread and the wind in his face
C Am Em
But nobody knew that Willie could fly
[Chorus]
F G
Oh, but don't you fly away boy
F C G
No, don't you fly away
F G
No, don't you fly away boy
C Am Em
You know, everything will be okay
G C Am Em
Yeah, you know, everything will be okay
G
Oh, won't you stay
C Am Em
Willie, stay
G C Am Em G
Yeah, you know, everything will be okay
