Learning To Fly - Pink Floyd
[Intro]
| G | % | Em | % |
| G | % | Em | % |
[Verse 1]
GInto the distance, a ribbon of black
EmStretched to the point of no turning back
A Gflight of fancy on a windswept field
EmStanding alone my senses reel
A Gfatal attraction is holding me fast
How Emcan I escape this irresistible grasp?
[Chorus]
CCan't keep my eyes from the Amcircling sky
FTongue-tied and twisted
Just an Cearth-bound Dmisfit, GI
[Interlude]
| G | % | Em | D |
[Verse 2]
GIce is forming on the tips of my wings
EmUnheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
GNo navigator to find my way home
EmUnladen, empty and turned to stone
[Chorus]
A Csoul in tension that's Amlearning to fly
FCondition grounded but Cdetermined to try
CCan't keep my eyes from the Amcircling skies
FTongue-tied and twisted
Just an Cearth-bound Dmisfit, GI
[Cockpit Chatter]
| F | x20
Friction lock, set
Mixtures, rich
Propellers, fully forward
Flaps, set, ten degrees
Engine gauges and suction, check
Mixture set to maximum percent, recheck
Flight instruments
Altimeters, check both
Fuel pumps, on
Navigation lights, on
Strobes, on
Confirm three-eight-echo ready for departure
Hello again, this is now 129.4
129.4, it's to go
You may commence your takeoff, winds over ten knots
Three-eight-echo

Easy on the brakes, take it easy, it's gonna roll this time
Just hand the power gradually, and it
[Verse 3]
GAbove the planet on a wing and a prayer
EmMy grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
GAcross the clouds I see my shadow fly
EmOut of the corner of my watering eye
[Verse 4]
A Gdream unthreatened by the morning light
EmCould blow this soul right through the roof of the night
[Chorus]
There's Cno sensation to comAmpare with this
FSuspended animation, a Cstate of bliss
CCan't keep my mind from the Amcircling sky
FTongue-tied and twisted
Just an Cearth-bound Dmisfit, GI
