Expecting To Fly — Buffalo Springfield
Chords and lyrics for Expecting To Fly by Buffalo Springfield (key of C).
Verse 1
One of the best songs ever, it first grabbed my attention on the film Fear
and Loathing
in Las Vegas (also an amazing book!)
[D]There you stood on the [Am]edge of your feather
[G]Expecting to [A]fly
[D]While I laughed, [Am]I wondered whether
[G]I could wave [A][D]goodbye
[G]Knowin' that you'd [C]gone
[Dm]By the summer [G]it was healing
[C]We had said [F]goodbye
[Dm]All the years we'd [G]spent with feeling
[C]Ended with a [F]cry
[Fmaj7]Babe, [Cmaj7] ended with a [F]cry
[Fmaj7]Babe, [Cmaj7] ended with a [D]cry
[D]I tried so [Am]hard to stand
As I [G]stumbled and fell to the [A]ground
[D]So hard to [Am]laugh as I fumbled
And [G]reached for the love I [A][D]found
[G]Knowin' it was [C]gone
[Dm]If I never [G]lived without you
[C]Now you know I'd [F]die
[Dm]If I never [G]said I loved you
[C]Now you know I'd [F]try
[Fmaj7]Babe, [Cmaj7] now you know I'd [F]try
[Fmaj7]Babe, [Cmaj7] now you know[F] I'd try
[Fmaj7]Babe[Cmaj7]
Enjoy,
Chris
