^Gm9 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woo, ooh... Verse 1:

^Gm9 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.

^Gm9 I go the place where danger awaits me, ^Dm9 And it's bound to forsake me. ^Gm9 So stupid minded;^Am9 I can't help it. Oh yah, so stupid minded. ^Cm9 But I go crazy, when I ^Gm9can't find it.

Chorus 1:

^C7sus4 In the morning,^C7 I'll be alright, my friend. ^Fmaj7 But soon the night,^Bbmaj7 will bring the ^Am9pains, the pain, oh pain.

Verse 2:

^Gm9 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.

^Gm9 And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-^Dm9waits me; Self-destruction in my hand. Oh Lord,^Gm9 so stupid ^Am9minded, ^Cm9 Oh, but I go crazy, when I ^Gm9can't find it.

Chorus 2:

^C7sus4 Well, I know I'm ^C7hooked, my friend, ^Fmaj7 To the boy,^Bbmaj7 who makes slaves ^Am9out of men. ^Gm9 And oh, believe me...

Coda:

^Gm9 Flying high in a friendly sky, oh baby, flyin' high. (Fade)
