[Verse 1]
C              F         C
Honey have you heard the news
                   G     C
I'm paying no more union dues
                           F         C
Like a bird that flew when lightning struck
                     G      C
I'm breaking out and moving up.
                            F       C
If the creek don't rise and I don't die
                     G      C
I'm getting my piece of the pie
                  F     C
Doin without just never stuck
                     G      C
I'm getting mine and moving up.

[Chorus]
           F                           C
I'm moving up a little higher breaking all the chains that hold
          F                               D             G    C
I may not be a big high flyer but there's freedom in my soul
N.c  C          F        C
Well I got open eyes and mind
                        G     C
And the love of man and woman kind
                      F      C   
It'll work out with a little luck
                              G      C
And I'll be alright cause I'm moving up.

[Verse 2]
C                          F         C
Where the land is rich and black and flat
                     G           C
Woman love's good on ground like that
                               F       C
So I wouldn't stay there for a million bucks
                    G      C
She moved on so I'm moving up.
                 F       C
Yes happiness is calling me
                      G   C
And love as sweet prosperity
                     F        C
I'm gonna drink from fortunes cup
                    G      C
I'm leaving now and moving up.

[Chorus]
           F                           C
I'm moving up a little higher breaking all the chains that hold
          F                               D             G       C
I may not be a big high flyer but there's freedom in my soul
N.c  C          F        C
Well I got open eyes and mind
                        G     C
And the love of man and woman kind
                      F      C
It'll work out with a little luck
                              G      C
And I'll be alright cause I'm moving up.
                      F      C
It'll work out with a little luck
                              G      C
And I'll be alright cause I'm moving up.
