It's easy to play the song in C-major. Perhaps you have to transpose it or use a capo if you want to play with the original recording.
Intro: C F C F
We're sitting out here on the runway,
Waiting for the plane to leave,
And the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay,
Bear with me please,"
They gave us the usual hassle,
"You can't take those guitars on board," a e F But the boys in the band just smiled,
Heard it all before,
a And as they're starting to serve Champagne e F To the folks at the front of the plane,
I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,
Chorus: a And we are flying home, a I feel the freedom in my soul, a Flying home at last; a Flying home, a I've got the freedom in my soul, e And it's four in the morning, e My world is calling, d Speeding through the universe tonight...
The movie reminds of my lady,
As she waits, "where are those guys?"
Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,
a And now the sun is beginning to rise, e F It's like looking down on Paradise, a There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,
Chorus:
a And we are flying home, a I feel the freedom in my soul, a Flying home at last; a Flying home, a I've got the freedom in my soul, e And it's four in the morning, e My world is calling, d Speeding through the universe tonight...
Fade out on chords of first to stanzas (sax solo)
I'm not quite sure about the chord Bb it might be something different :-)
