Learning To Fly (acoustic guitar) chords
Pink Floyd 1987 (A Momentary Lapse of Reason) *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_to_Fly_(Pink_Floyd_song)
G G Em
G
Into the distance, a ribbon of black;
Em D G
\
Stretched to the point of no turning back
G
A flight of fancy on a windswept field;
Em D G
\
Standing alone my senses reel
G
A fatal attraction is holding me fast;
Em D G
\
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
C Am
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies;
F
Tongue-tied and twisted,
C D G
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
G G Em
G
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings;
Em D G
\
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
G
No navigator to find my way home;
Em D G
\
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
C Am
A soul in tension that's learning to fly;
F C
Condition grounded but determined to try
C Am
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies;
F
Tongue-tied and twisted,
C D G
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
G
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer;
Em D G
\
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
G
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly;
Em D G
\
Out of the corner of my watering eye
G
A dream unthreatened by the morning light;
Em D G
\
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
C Am
There's no sensation to compare with this;
F C
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
C Am
Can't keep my mind from the circling sky;
F
Tongue-tied and twisted,
C D G
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
G GEm
