Intro
[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 [Gm9]can'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 [Am9]pains, 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' [Dm9]a-waits me;
Self-destruction in my hand.
Oh Lord,[Gm9] so stupid [Am9]minded,
[Cm9] Oh, but I go crazy, when I [Gm9]can't find it.
Chorus 2
[C7sus4] Well, I know I'm [C7]hooked, my friend,
[Fmaj7] To the boy,[Bbmaj7] who makes slaves [Am9]out of men.
[Gm9] And oh, believe me...
Coda
[Gm9] Flying high in a friendly sky, oh baby, flyin' high.
