VERSE: D Young boy that I know Am Feels he has lived too long D His spirit of adventure C Slipped away G With little sense of pride A He feels deep down inside CHORUS: D He is flying Em Flying G D Flying to be free again. D Flying Em Flying G D Flying to be free again. VERSE: D Young girl that I know Am Feels she has lost her way D Her only chance of love C Once passed her by G But little does she know A This is hardly so CHORUS: D She is flying Em Flying G D Flying to be free again.
