...FLYIN' HIGH (IN THE FRIENDLY SKY)... by Marvin Gaye
---------------------------------------...............
*from 'What's Going On' (1971)*
Intro:
Gm9
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woo, ooh...
Verse 1:
Gm9
Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high, without ever leavin' the ground, no.
Rest of the folks are tired and weary,
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.
Gm9
I go the place where danger awaits me,
Dm9
And it's bound to forsake me.
Gm9 Am9
So stupid minded; I can't help it. Oh yah, so stupid minded.
Cm9 Gm9
But I go crazy, when I can't find it.
Chorus 1:
C7sus4 C7
In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Am9
But soon the night, will bring the pains, the pain, oh pain.
Verse 2:
Gm9
Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high, without ever leavin' the ground.
And I ain't seen nothing but trouble, baby,
Nobody really understands, no no.
Gm9 Dm9
And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-waits me;
Self-destruction in my hand.
Gm9 Am9
Oh Lord, so stupid minded,
Cm9 Gm9
Oh, but I go crazy, when I can't find it.
Chorus 2:
C7sus4 C7
Well, I know I'm hooked, my friend,
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Am9
To the boy, who makes slaves out of men.
Gm9
And oh, believe me...
Coda:
Gm9
Flying high in a friendly sky, oh baby, flyin' high.
(Fade)
