The following song tells of John Denver's love for flight and it

Flying For Me

John Denver (klr)

Well, [D] I guess that you probably know by now

I was [Bm] one who wanted to fly

I wanted to [G] ride on that arrow of [A] fire right up into [D]

heaven [G] [A]

And I [D] wanted to go for every man

Every [Bm] child, every mother of children

I wanted to [G] carry the dreams of all [A] people right up to the

stars [G] [A]

And I [D] prayed that I^Òd find an answer there

Or [Bm] maybe I^Òd find a song

Giving a [G] voice to all the [A] hearts that cannot be [D] heard

[A]

And for [D] all the ones who live in fear

And [Bm] all those who stand apart

My being [G] there would bring us a [A] little step closer [D]

together

They were flying for [G] me

They were [A] flying for every [D] one

They were trying to [G] see a brighter [A] day for each and evey [D]

one

They gave us their [G] light

They gave us their [A] spirit and all they could [D] be

They were [A] flying for [D] me

They were [A] flying for [D] me

And I [G] wanted to wish on the [A] Milky Way

And [D] dance upon a falling [Bm] star

I wanted to [G] give myself and [G/e] free myself and [G] join myself

with it [A] all

[D] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]

Given the [G] chance to dream it [A] can be done

The [D] promise of tomorrow is [Bm] real

Children of the [G] spaceship earth

The [A] future belongs to us [D] all

She was flying for [G] me

She was [A] flying for every [D] one

She was flying to [G] see a brighter [A] day for each and every [D]

one

She gave us her [G] light

She gave us her [A] spirit and all she can [D] be

She was [A] flying for [D] me

They were flying for [G] me

They were [A] flying for every [D] one

They were trying to [G] see a brightrer [A] day for each and every

one

They gave us their [G] light

They gave us their [A] spirit and all they could [D] be

They were [A] flying for [D] me (4x)

Enjoy
