Why Walk When You Can Fly piano leadsheet with chords

Level 5B100 BPMMary Chapin Carpenter
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble,

baby; in this world there's a whole lot of pain.

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble,

but a whole lot of ground to gain.

Why take when you could be giving?

Why watch as the world goes by?

It's a hard enough life to be living.

Why walk when you can fly?

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow;

in this world there's a whole lot of shame.

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow and a whole lot of ground to gain.

When you spend your whole life wishing,

rising wanting and wondering why,

it's a long enough the life to be living.

Why walk when you can fly?

fly high?

high?
