Saw this around and it didn't seem right to me, here is my attempt.

Chorus
(B/Cm played as upstrokes off-beat)
E B Cm A
That's the way its gonna be, little darlin'
E B Cm A
We'll go riding on the horses yea-yeah
E B Cm A
Way up in the sky little darlin'
E B Cm A
And if you fall, io'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
V1
We will fly
Way up high
Where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun
Laughing having fun
With the people that she knows
And if the situation
Should keep us separated
You know the world won't fall apart
And you will free the beautiful bird
That's caught inside your heart
Bridge
Can't you hear her?
Oh she cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud
Chorus
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
We'll be riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
V2
You will grow
And until you go
I'll be right there by your side
And even then
Whisper the wind
And she will carry up your ride
I hear all the people of the world
In one bird's lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how
To make their spirit fly
Bridge
Can't you see him?
He's down on the ground
He has a broken wing
Looking all around
Chorus
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You go riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
