John Denver - Flying For Me
From the album: One World (1986)
Comment for any corrections and please rate
John Denver was one of the selected people to go into space with NASA's space shuttle program in 1986.
After one year of training together with the other ones selected, in the week before the take-off John was
called and he was told an extra crew member would go with meaning there wasn't enough room for John.
Furious as he was he still watched the live broadcast of the space shuttle take off.
Then in 73 seconds after the laucnch the space shuttle exploded, killing every one in the shuttle.
After this disaster John wrote this song...
Intro:
C F C F
C F C F
Verse:
         C
 Well I guess that you probably know by now
 Am
 I was one who wanted to fly
              F                     G                  C
 I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven
        C
 And I wanted to go for every man
         Am
 Every child, every mother of children
              F                       G                       C
 I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars
         C
 And I prayed that I'd find an answer there
     Am
 Or maybe I would find a song
           F                   G                     C
 Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard
         C
 And for all of the ones who live in fear
     Am
 And all of those who stand apart
            F                     G                    C
 My being there would bring us a little step closer together
Chorus:
                      F
 They were flying for me
             G             C
 They were flying for everyone
                      F              G                    C
 They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
                     F
 They gave us their light
                      G                        Am
 They gave us their spirit and all they could be
F            G         C
 They were flying for me
F            G         C
 They were flying for me
F G C G Am G
Bridge:
        F                     G
 And I wanted to wish on the Milky Way
      C            G        Am G
 And dance upon a falling star
              F                Dm              F                  G
 I wanted to give myself and free myself, and join myself with it all
Verse:
C  Am  F  G  C
             C
 Given the chance to dream, it can be done
       Am
 The promise of tomorrow is real
               F
 Children of spaceship Earth
      G                   C
 The future belongs to us all
Chorus:
                     F
 She was flying for me
           G             C
 She was flying for everyone
                    F              G                    C
 She was trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
                  F
 She gave us her light
                   G                       Am
 She gave us her spirit and all she could be
F          G         C
 She was flying for me
                       F
 They were flying for me
             G             C
 They were flying for everyone
                      F              G                    C
 They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
                     F
 They gave us their light
                      G                        Am
 They gave us their spirit and all they could be
F            G         C
 They were flying for me
F            G         C
 They were flying for me
F            G         C
 They were flying for me
F            G         C F C F C F
 They were flying for me...
