Capo 2nd Fret

C                         G            F
Seventy days to cross the ocean
C                          G                  F
Seventy nights where no one’s gonna hear me fall
C                           G            F
Freddie Mercury, “I’ve sometimes wished
F
I’d never been born at all”

C                        G            F
I remain unphotographed yea
C                         G            F
I don’t exaggerate my intelligence
C                         G            F
I might turn a broom into a tree
F
But I’ll never be one of them

Am F      C                                              F
I fly,         cause there’s no why in getting beaten up by
Am F      G
a guy       who cries before he fights

C                         G            F
I don’t want em to see me like this
C                         G            F
The way they like to kick people when their down
C                         G            F
You said, ‘please stop worrying bout this
F
They stop kicking once you’re down’

C                                    G            F
There’s Mistaken Point, Newfoundland
C                             G            F
There’s Moonbeam, Ontari-ari-o
C                          G            F
There are places I’ve never been
F
and always wanted to go

Am F        C                                      F
I fly,          cause woe betide a guy who just lives to fight
Am F        G
Fly,           love is to try and die trying

A Bb C
Fly, yea, that’s right
A Bb C D
Fly, yea, that’s right
A Bb C D  F G
Try, love is to try and die trying

Am F   C  F
Am F   G         (Through solo)

C                         G            F
Coastline rising out of the ocean
C                         G            F
Coastline rises like a pair of glowing thighs
C                         G            F
Theres something down deep inside me says,
F
‘Where ya been all my life.’ 

Am F    C      F
Fly, turn your back, get your face in the sky
Am F    G
Fly, love is to try and die trying
Am F    C       F
Try, left and right, across your mind
Am F    G
Try, love is to try and die trying
