(Original Key: Gm)
Intro:
[Cm] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wooh, [Em]ooh...
Verse 1:
[Em] 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.
[Em] I go the place where danger awaits me,
[Bm] And it's bound to forsake me.
[Em] So stupid minded; [F#m7]I can't help it. Oh yah, so stupid minded.
[Am] But I go crazy, when I [Em]can't find it.
Chorus 1:
[D] In the morning, [A]I'll be alright, my friend.
[Dmaj7] But soon the night, [Bm]will bring the [F#m7]pains, the pain, oh pain.
Verse 2:
[Em] 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.
[Em] And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-[Bm]waits me;
Self-destruction in my hand.
Oh Lord, [Em]so stupid [F#m7]minded,
[Am] Oh, and I go crazy, when I [Em]can't find it.
Chorus 2:
[D] Well, I know I'm [A]hooked, my friend,
[Dmaj7] To the boy,[Bm] who makes slaves [F#m7]out of men.
[Em] And oh believe me...
Coda:
[Em] Flying high in a friendly sky, oh baby, flyin' high.
