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
