Alison Krauss: I'll Fly Away (with Gillian Welch) This song sounds great with two guitars, one playing this pattern capoed at the fifth fret, and one playing a G,C,D pattern in open position - That's how I play it - but this is the way it is in the song D G D D A D D Some bright morning when this life is o'er G D I will fly away D To a home on God's celestial shore D A D I will fly away D I will fly away oh glory G D I will fly away D When I die Hallelujah by and by D A D I will fly away D When the shadows of this life have gone G D I will fly away D Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly D A D I will fly away D I will fly away oh glory G D I will fly away D When I die Hallelujah by and by D A D I will fly away D G D D D A D D Oh how glad and happy when we meet G D I will fly away D No more cold iron shackles on my feet D A D I will fly away D I will fly away oh glory G D I will fly away D When I die Hallelujah by and by D A D I will fly away D G D D D A D D I will fly away oh glory G D I will fly away D When I die Hallelujah by and by D A D I will fly away D Just a few more weary days and then G D I will fly away D To a land where joys will never end D A D I will fly away D I will fly away oh glory G D I will fly away D When I die Hallelujah by and by D A D I will fly away D A D I will fly away
