EBlown down the highway by Atwo different winds
ELord only knows when I'll Asee you again
C#mYou're 'bout as close as the Astars up above
You're my Blong distance love
AKentucky BlueEbird, AI heard your song toBday
ABut when I try to C#mtouch you, you Bfly aAway
EBlue is a feeling I'm Alearning so well
ETurn on the TV in anAother hotel
C#mTurn down the volume and Astare at the wall
God I wBish you would call
AKentucky BlueEbird, AI heard your song toBday
ABut when I try to C#mtouch you, you fBly awAay
C#mHow I hate the Amiles between us
They Bget longer each Eday
C#mI had this dream and you Ashould have seen us
BHolding each other and drifting away
AKentucky BlueEbird, AI heard your song toBday
ABut when I try to C#mtouch you, you fBly aAway
C#mYou fly aEway.
