As the crow flies, baby
                G        D
Will I ain't so far from you
                       G
As the crow flies, baby
                    D
I ain't so far from you
    A
But since I don't have wings
        G                             D
I can't get home as fast as I want to

In a dream last night,

Where I heard you call my name,
     G
In a dream last night,
                          D
Where I heard you call my name,
        A
Well, I took it as an omen,
      D                                G
And I jumped on the very first freight train.
D
Yeah...

Well, you don′t know baby,

Well, you don't know baby,

How I miss your sweet caress,
A
When I′m in your lovin' arms,
  G                        D
I swear I′m at my very best.

As the crow flies baby,

As the crow flies baby,
          D
I′m on my way.
     E
If I don′t stop runnin',
      G
I can get home for the break of day,
G
Get home for the break of day,

Get home for the break of day,
D
Get home for the break of day,
