[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
