Alison Krauss - Never Got Off The Ground guitar chord

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.

by Alison Krauss and Union Station

Tabbed by Dan Craggs (dan(remove)craggs(at)gmail(dot)com)

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
