[Intro]
Dm Dm/C G F (x4)
 
[Verse 1]
Dm                 Dm/C
  Mama, don't you cry
G                F
  Don't you worry
Dm                  Dm/C G    F
 I cannot stay here any longer
 
Dm                      Dm/C
  The time has come to find
G               F
  A distant calling
Dm                  Dm/C     G
 That only seems to get much stronger
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F
  And I know it's hard
A                           G
 To see the one you come to lean on make his way
       Bb
Far beyond the womb
    F       C
But I can't stay
 
 
[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
    F            G
I'm only getting closer
                               Dm  F G
To getting off the ground this ti....me
 
    Dm                  F             G
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders
                              Dm  F G
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y
 
Mama, I'm bent to fly
 
 
[Instrumental]
Dm Dm/C G F (x2)
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                Dm/C
  Remember yesterday
G                 F
  Before the storm
Dm               Dm/C      G    F
  Before the innocence was lost
 
Dm                     Dm/C
  I promised I would stay
G            F
  Forevermore
Dm                 Dm/C       G
  But every boy in time moves on
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F
 Your wounds will heal someday
A                       G
  This I know, but I am restless and so torn
      Bb                F  C
Mama, I can't stay here anymore
 
 
[Chorus]
  Dm
I won't stop running
    F            G

To getting off the ground this ti....me

The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders

Won't let this chance pass me b.....y
 
Mama, I'm bent to fly

  Gotta say my last goodbye

I think that the missing chord in the Chorus it's a F! I can't tell if the rest is correct, but works for me!

Bass is best at (+1) transpose!!

Thanks, love this song! I'm thinking that the C at the end of the pre chorus should be a Dm, could be wrong though!
