| G | G7 |
| One bright morning, when this life is | o'er |
| C | G | |
| I'll fly a | way, |
To that home on God's celestial shore
| D | G | |
| I'll | fly a | way. |
| G | G7 |
| I'll fly away (oh | glory) |
| C | G |
| I'll fly a | way (in the morning) |
When I die, Hallelujah bye and bye,
| D | G | |
| I'll | fly a | way. |
| G | G7 |
| When the shadows of this life have | gone |
| C | G | |
| I'll fly a | way, |
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
| D | G | |
| I'll | fly a | way. |
| Chorus |
| G | G7 |
| Just a few more weary days and | then |
To a land where joys shall never end
| D | G | |
| I'll | fly a | way. |
| Chorus |
