John Denver - Flying For Me From the album: One World (1986) Comment for any corrections and please rate John Denver was one of the selected people to go into space with NASA's space shuttle program in 1986. After one year of training together with the other ones selected, in the week before the take-off John was called and he was told an extra crew member would go with meaning there wasn't enough room for John. Furious as he was he still watched the live broadcast of the space shuttle take off. Then in 73 seconds after the laucnch the space shuttle exploded, killing every one in the shuttle. After this disaster John wrote this song... Intro: C F C F C F C F Verse:
Well I gCuess that you probably know by now AmI was one who wanted to fly I wanted to rFide on that arrow of fGire right up into hCeaven And I wCanted to go for every man Every chAmild, every mother of children I wanted to cFarry the dreams of all pGeople right up to the stCars
And I prCayed that I'd find an answer there Or mAmaybe I would find a song Giving a vFoice to all of the hGearts that cannot be hCeard And for Call of the ones who live in fear And Amall of those who stand apart My being thFere would bring us a lGittle step closer togCether
