Cm
Ooh, ooh, ooh,

Em
Wooh, ooh...
Verse 1:
Em
Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever leavin' the ground, no.
Rest of the folks are tired and weary,
Oh Lord,
And have laidbtheir bodies down.
Em
I go the place,
Where danger awaits me,
Bm
And it's bound to forsake me.

So stupid minded,

I can't help it.
Oh yah, so stupid minded,
Am
But I go crazy,
Em
When I can't find it,
Chorus 1:
D
In the morning,
A
I'll be alright, my friend.
Dmaj7
But soon the night,
Bm F#m7
Will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain.

Em
Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever leavin' the ground.
And I ain't seen,
Nothing but trouble baby,
Nobody really understands, no no.
Em
And I go to the place,
Where the good feelin',
Bm
A-waits me,
Selfdestruction in my hand.
Oh Lord,
Em F#m7
So stupid minded
Am
Oh and I go crazy,
Em
When I can't find it.
Chorus 2:
D
Well I know,

I'm hooked my friend,

To the boy,
Who makes slaves,

Out of men.

And oh believe me...

Flying high in a friendly sky,
Oh baby, flyin' high.
