High Flight Requiem For A Pilot

D G D D D Fly on old friend, G D to whatever waits for you. D Fly on old friend, G A7 your course was always true. D And now we understand G D A there's a fair wind in the blue, D G D G but here there's none A G A D who would not fly with you. D D D D D Oh I have slipped C the surely bonds of earth, G and danced the skies D on laughter-silvered wings. D Sunward I've climbed, C and joined the tumbling mirth G of sunlit clouds D and done a hundred things, C D that you have never dreamed of. C D Wheeled and soared and swing. C D High in the sunlit silence, C D I've chased the wind along, C D I've chased the wind along. D D D D D So fly on old friend, G D to whatever waits for you. D Fly on old friend, G A7 your couse was always true. D But now we understand D G D A there's a fair wind in the blue, D G D G but here there's none A G A D who would not fly with you. D Up, up the long C delerious burning blue, G I've topped the windswept hights D with easy grace. D Where never a lark, C or ever eagle flew, G the untressapassed D sanctity of space. C D And with silent mind C D lifting high I've trod, C D put out my hand and touched C D perhaps the face of God C D touched the face of God. D Fly on old friend, G D To whatever waits for you. D Fly on old friend, G A7 Your course was always true. D And now we understand G D A There's a fair wind in the blue, D G D G But here there's none A G A D who would not fly with you G D G Here there's none A G A D who would not fly with you. G D G And when we fly, A G A D we'll always fly with you. D D C C G A D D
