Flight The Higher We Fly

by John Denver

Lyrics & chords · Original key

[Intro]

F Am/E Dm Db+5 F/C Bbmaj7 Gm7 C7

[Verse]

F Am/E Dm F/C

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

Bbmaj Am7 Gm7 C7

And danced the sky on laughter silvered wings

F Am/E Dm Db+5

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth

Bbmaj7 Gm7 C7 F

Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things

Bb G C Bb F Abmaj7

I've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence

Db+5 Csus4 C7 F Am/E Dm

Hovering there I've chased the shouting winds aloft

F/C Bb Gm7 C7 F

And flung my eager craft through footless halls of air

[Chorus]

Bbmaj7 Fmaj7/A

The higher we fly, the farther we go

Gm7 Gm7/C F

The closer we are to each other

Bbmaj7 Fmaj7/A

The darker the night, the brighter the star

Gm7 Gm7/C F Am/E Dm Db+5

In peace go my sisters and brother

F/C Bbmaj7 Gm7 C7

[Verse]

F Am/E Dm F/C

Up, up, the long delirious burning blue

Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm

I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

C7 F Am/E Dm

Where never lark nor even eagle flew

Db+5 F/C G C Bb

And while with silent lifting mind I trod

F Am/E Dm F/C

The high untrespassed sanctity of space

Bb C9 F

Put out my hand and touched the face of God

[Chorus]

Bbmaj7 Fmaj7/A

The higher we fly, the farther we go

Gm7 Gm7/C

The closer we are to each other

Bbmaj7 Fmaj7/A

The darker the night, the brighter the star

Gm7 Gm7/C F Am/E Dm Db+5

In peace go my sisters and brother

Gm7 C7 F Fsus2 Fadd2
