INTRO:  Em   A   Em   A


VERSE I
Em       A
Perfect sky

Em          Dm              C      F - C
The sun and I are going our own way

Em    A
I can tell

Em     Dm                     C       F - C
No one else gonna know how to love me

        G                      C
But the wind with its hands on my face

        A                        C
And the tall grass, Lord, how it shakes

          Em       Dm                   C
All of my worries, worry about me for a change


CHORUS
         G                        C
'Cause I ain't looking closely today

      G                        C
No, I ain't looking closely today

       G                        F              C   Em   A   Em   A
Like a river so wide, I'm gonna let is slide away


VERSE II
Em       A
Long way off

Em       Dm                    C       F - C
Someone calling, ain't calling my name

Em        A
Old blue jay

Em   Dm               C      F - C
Fly away, rather than explain

              G                        C
Water carries voices and the devil may care

      A                       C
Me, I don't have an answer to spare

          Em      Dm              C
No use in asking, I'm feeling the same


CHORUS
      G                       C
No, I ain't looking closely today

      G                       C
No, I ain't looking closely today

    G                          F            C
I'm feeling so high, I'm gonna let it fly away


SOLO:  Dm   C   Dm   C   Dm   C   G   C   A   C


CHORUS
      G                        C
No, I ain't looking closely today

      G                       C
No, I ain't looking closely today

       G                          F           G 
Like a river so wide, I'm gonna let it slide away

      G                       C
Oh, I ain't looking closely today

      G                       C
No, I ain't looking closely today

    G                         F           C
I'm feeling so high I'm gonna let it fly away
