Intro:
Cm
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Em
Wooh, ooh...
Verse 1:
Em
Flying high,
In the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever,
Leavin' the ground, no.
Rest of the folks,
Are tired and weary,
Oh Lord,
And have laid,
Their bodies down.
Em
I go the place,
Where danger awaits me
Bm
And it's bound,
To forsake me.
Em
So stupid minded,
F#m7
I can't help it.
oh ya, so stupid minded,
Am
But I go crazy,
Em
When I can't find it,
Chorus 1:
D
In the morning,
A
I'll be alright,
My friend.
Dmaj7
But soon the night,
Bm F#m7
Will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain.
Verse 2:
Em
Flying high,
In the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever,
Leavin' the ground.
And I ain't seen,
Nothing but trouble baby,
Nobody really,
Understands, no no.
Em
And I go to the place,
Where the good feelin',
Bm
A-waits me,
Selfdestruction,
In my hand
Oh Lord,
Em F#m7
So stupid minded
Am
Oh and I go crazy,
Em
When I can't find it.
Chorus 2:
D
Well I know,
A
I'm hooked my friend,
Dmaj7 Bm
To the boy,
Who makes slaves,
F#m7
Out of men.
Em
And oh believe me...
Coda;
Em
Flying high,
In a friendly sky,
Oh baby, flyin' high.
