Alison Krauss — Never Got Off the Ground
This is the first tab of this on the net, and probably the first attempt at transcribing the lyrics, too, hence some ridiculous lines within. Corrections and comments appreciated as always. +++ PERMISSION ONLY GRANTED TO COUNTRYTABS AND COWBOYLYRICS TO HOST +++ Never Got Off The Ground CAPO 3 Intro: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 E Dsus2 My father was a farmer, E Dsus2 but his head was in the sky. E Dsus2 He worked every day but Sunday A Dsus2 | A till the day he died. E Dsus2 He prayed for rain and thunder, E Dsus2 and listened for the sound. E Dsus2 In the dry years he went under, A Dsus2 | A he never got off the ground. E Dsus2 We all dream when we're younger E Dsus2 that we will to great things. E Dsus2 Me, I used to have a hunger. A Dsus2 | A to wear a pilot's wings. Mando solo: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A E Dsus2 But the circles that I ran in E Dsus2 turned my head around, E Dsus2 and the planes I had my plans in A Dsus2 | A never got off the ground. C Don't raise your hopes; A you hear so many say C "The higher they get, G E Dsus2 A the closer they are to fly-ing away." E Dsus2 A Fly high away! Fiddle solo: E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | E | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A C Don't raise your hopes; A you hear so many say C "The higher they get, G E Dsus2 A the closer they are to fly-ing away." E Dsus2 They say they're but for fortune, E Dsus2 is the way it would have been E Dsus2 if we could take a bigger portion, A Dsus2 | A and fill our hands again. E Dsus2 You see them on the sidewalks E Dsus2 in the parks all over town; E Dsus2 those who've taken flight, E Dsus but never got off the ground. Outro: A | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A | Dsus2 | A
