*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: Gm)


Intro:

Cm                                   Em
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, 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                 F#m7
 So stupid minded; I can't help it. Oh yah, so stupid minded.
Am                      Em
 But I go crazy, when I can't find it.

Chorus 1:

D                A
 In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
Dmaj7                Bm             F#m7
 But soon the night, will bring the pains, the pain, oh 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                                               Bm
 And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-waits me;
Self-destruction in my hand.
         Em        F#m7
Oh Lord, so stupid minded,
Am                          Em
 Oh, and I go crazy, when I can't find it.

Chorus 2:

D                 A
 Well, I know I'm hooked, my friend,
Dmaj7       Bm                 F#m7
 To the boy,  who makes slaves out of men.
Em
 And oh believe me...

Coda:

Em
 Flying high in a friendly sky, oh baby, flyin' high.
