C         Am
Willy was from Birmingham
Em        G
Had the world in his hands
C         Am
An office job, a bank account, and a pretty wife
Em        G
Friday would come too soon
C         Am
He would fly you to the moon
Em
His old lady never knew what he was talking about

[Chorus]
C             G7
Don't you fly away boy
C             G7
Don't you fly away
C             G7
Don't you fly away boy
G7            C
You know everything will be OK
G7            C
Yeah everything will be ok

[Verse 2]
C         Am
Monday and he's back to work
Em        G
Shiny shoes, a tie in his shirt
C         Am
Everybody loved him so, he had a beautiful smile
Em        G
A good report a pat on the back
C         Am
Got his name on the company plaque
Em
But nobody seemed to know that Willy could fly

[Chorus]
C             G7
Don't you fly away boy
C             G7
Don't you fly away
C             G7
Don't you fly away boy
G7            C
You know everything will be OK
G7            C
Yeah everything will be ok

[Verse 3]
C         Am
Willy was a nobleman
Em        G
When he lived in Birmingham

But he was losing his mind in a world of his own
Em        G
Willy left on a rainy day
C         Am
Wings spread and wind in his face
Em
But nobody knew that Willy could fly

[Chorus/Outro]  add some flourishes on the last part, slide the G up into a 3x5433 shape
C             G7
Don't you fly away boy
C             G7
Don't you fly away
C             G7
Don't you fly away boy
G7            C
You know everything will be OK
G7            C
Yeah everything will be ok
G7            C
Oh won't you stay Willy stay
G7            C
Yeah everything will be OK

C Am Em
