Strawbs - Flight
[Intro]
Dm  G  Dm  G  Dm  G  Dm  G
[Verse 1]
I wish I were a bird
Then I could Cmfly
I'd Gsee the crowded people
As they go Cmby
DI'd soar into the air
And fly as Cmhigh as I could see
DDrifting through the clouds
With no-Cmone to bother meD  
Just Clooking for a Fstar
I Dwonder if you Cmare Dhere
[Verse 2]
I feel the loss of time
As days go Cmby
And Gsee the lonely people
Who wonder Cmwhy
Just Dsearching for a reason
To reCmveal a secret sin
DTrying to find an answer
To reCmlease the good withinD  
Just Clooking for a Fstar
I Dwonder if you Cmare Dhere
[Chorus]
I'll Gride the Fearly bird at Gdawn
To sing my ever-Floving Gsong
I'd G7come and Csit beGside Fyou, a Gfriend
G7Then you'll Csee me GflyFing aGgain
[Chorus]
I'll Gride the Fearly bird at Gdawn
To sing my ever-Floving Gsong
I'd G7come and Csit beGside Fyou, a Gfriend
G7Then you'll Csee me GflyFing aGgain
[Chorus]    (fade to end0
I'll Gride the Fearly bird at Gdawn
To sing my ever-Floving Gsong
I'd G7come and Csit beGside Fyou, a Gfriend
G7Then you'll Csee me GflyFing aGgain
