Into the distance, a ribbon of black                                                       

Em7                                        D/A                                             
Stretched to the point of no turning back                                                  

G5               Gsus2 G5               GM7                                                
A flight of fancy on a wind-swept field                                                    

Em7                              D/A                                                       
Standing alone my senses reeled                                                            

G5            Gsus2 G5               GM7                                                   
A fatal attraction  holding me fast, How                                                   

Em7                                   D/A                                                  
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?                                                      

C                  CM7/B    Am                                                             
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky                                                   

F                                C           D/A                                           
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I                                     



(Solo ala Tim Renwick)

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings                                                     

Em7                                            D/A                                         
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything                                       

G5        Gsus2 G5                GM7                                                      
No navigator to guide my way home                                                          

Em7                                  D                                                     
Unladened, empty and turned to stone                                                       

C                CM7/B   Am                                                                
A soul in tension that's learning to fly                                                   
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/pink_floyd/learning_to_fly_crd_ver_2.html ]

Condition grounded but determined to try                                                   

                   CM7/B    Am                                                             
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies                                                 

F                               C           D/A                                            
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I                                      



G                                       GM7                                                
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer                                                    

Em7                                                                                        
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air                                            

G                                     GM7                                                  
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly                                                      

Em7                                                                                        
Out of the corner of my watering eye                                                       

G                                         GM7                                              
A dream unthreatened by the morning light                                                  

Em7                                                      D                                 
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night                                   



C                    CM7/B Am                                                              
There's no sensation to compare with this                                                  

F                      C                                                                   
Suspended animation, a state of bliss                                                      

                   CM7/B    Am                                                             
Can't keep my mind from the circling sky                                                   

F                               C           D         G                                    
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
