It's easy to play the song in C-major. Perhaps you have to transpose it or use a capo if you want to play with the original recording.
Intro: CFCF CF We're sitting out here on the runway, CF Waiting for the plane to leave, CF And the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay, G Bear with me please,"
CF They gave us the usual hassle, CF "You can't take those guitars on board," AEF But the boys in the band just smiled, G Heard it all before,
AF And as they're starting to serve Champagne EF To the folks at the front of the plane, CBbFG I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,
Chorus: AGF And we are flying home, AGF I feel the freedom in my soul, AGFCG Flying home at last; AGF Flying home, AGF I've got the freedom in my soul, E And it's four in the morning, E My world is calling, GDFCFCF Speeding through the universe tonight...
CF The movie reminds of my lady, CF As she waits, "where are those guys?" CGFG Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,
AF And now the sun is beginning to rise, EF It's like looking down on Paradise, ABbFG There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,
Chorus:
AGF And we are flying home, AGF I feel the freedom in my soul, AGFCG Flying home at last; AGF Flying home, AGF I've got the freedom in my soul, E And it's four in the morning, E My world is calling, GDFCFC Speeding through the universe tonight...
Fade out on chords of first to stanzas (sax solo)
I'm not quite sure about the chord Bb it might be something different :-)
