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
[D] 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
[G]   [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
[G] They were [A] flying for [D] me
[G] 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
[G] 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
[D] one
They gave us their [G] light
They gave us their [A] spirit and all they could [D] be
[G] They were [A] flying for [D] me      (4x)
