Flight The Higher We Fly chords by John Denver

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
F   Am/E   Dm   Db+5   F/C   Bbmaj7   Gm7   C7

Verse:
    F        Am/E             Dm           F/C
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
     Bbmaj             Am7               Gm7   C7
And danced the sky on laughter silvered wings
               F          Am/E               Dm    Db+5
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
   Bbmaj7                Gm7    C7       F
Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
       Bb         G           C  Bb     F           Abmaj7
I've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence
Db+5  Csus4   C7        F         Am/E               Dm
Hovering there I've chased the shouting winds aloft
 F/C          Bb                      Gm7  C7      F
And flung my eager craft through footless halls of air

  Chorus:
   Bbmaj7             Fmaj7/A
The higher we fly, the farther we go
    Gm7      Gm7/C     F
The closer we are to each other
    Bbmaj7                Fmaj7/A
The darker the night, the brighter the star
    Gm7         Gm7/C       F    Am/E  Dm  Db+5
In peace go my sisters and brother

     F/C   Bbmaj7   Gm7    C7

Verse:
    F        Am/E           Dm         F/C
Up, up, the long delirious burning blue
      Bbmaj7                Am7               Gm
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
  C7        F        Am/E      Dm
Where never lark nor even eagle flew
 Db+5           F/C            G      C    Bb
And while with silent lifting mind I trod
     F    Am/E         Dm           F/C
The high untrespassed sanctity of space
    Bb              C9           F
Put out my hand and touched the face of God

  Chorus:
    Bbmaj7             Fmaj7/A
The higher we fly, the farther we go
    Gm7      Gm7/C
The closer we are to each other
   Bbmaj7                Fmaj7/A
The darker the night, the brighter the star
    Gm7         Gm7/C       F    Am/E  Dm  Db+5
In peace go my sisters and brother


Gm7    C7      F       Fsus2    Fadd2
