I have only outlined the basic skeleton here... there is obviously lots of beautiful finger-picking that I've left out... but pretty easy to figure out if you noodle around for a bit.
Capo: 6th fret
[Intro]
CGGAmCAmEmG
[Verse 1]
(G) C Cicadas and gulls G They scrape on the hull C The land and the sea G They're distant from me
[Chorus 1] AmC I'm in the sky, sky, sky AmEmG I'm in the sky
[Verse 2]
(G) C Thoughts are like pearls G And flags are unfurled C When we're in the dark G I'll ride you like the ark
[Chorus 2] AmC Because you're mine, mine, mine AmEmG Because you're mine
[Solo]

[Verse 3] (G) CGCG
Maps can be poems When you're on your own And distance is braille And all that entails
[Chorus 3]
AmC I'm in the sky, sky, sky AmC I'm in the sky AmEmG I'm in the sky
[Verse 4] (G) CGCG
Empty as a page As high as a stage As full as a room When we're in the spoon
