Hey, this is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure it's completely correct. If you see
something wrong with it, just let me know. Enjoy! -Tommy Gun
Song: On the Wing
Artist: Owl City
Album: Ocean Eyes
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 3
* = one strum
G * D * Am *
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
Cadd9 * G *
And we'll stir the stars around
D * Am *
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
Cadd9 * D * G
And plummet out of sight and sound
(begin to strum normally)
D Am
The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
Cadd9 G
Where I live in the alpine heights
D Am
Below the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nights
Cadd9 D Em Cadd9 G
Alone, awake and thinking of...the weekend we were in love
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9 x3
G Cadd9 Em D
G D Am
Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
Cadd9 G
A thousand miles from the tide
D Am
But photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Cadd9 G
Distract me so I stay inside
D Am
I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
Cadd9 G
Cuz I would make a hook and eye
D Am
And fish them from the sky, my darling, she and I
Cadd9 D Em
We're hanging on so take us high
Cadd9
To sing the world goodbye
Cadd9 G D
I am floating away
Cadd9 G D
Lost in a silent ballet
Cadd9 G D Em
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Cadd9 G D
Awake to take in the view
Cadd9 G D
Late nights and early parades
Cadd9 G D
Still photos and noisy arcades
Cadd9 G D Em
My darling, we're both on the wing, look down and keep on singing
Cadd9 G D
And we can go anywhere
Cadd9 * G * D *
Are you there?
Cadd9 * G *
Are you there
Em D Am G D
Or are you just a decoy dream in my head?
Cadd9 D Em G Cadd9 G D
Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone?
Am G D
Cadd9 G Em D
Am G D
Cadd9 D Em G Cadd9 G D
(listen to song to get tempo and strumming pattern right...I think it repeats 4 times)
G Cadd9 Em Cadd9 x3
G Cadd9 Em D
Cadd9 G D
I am floating away
Cadd9 G D
Lost in a silent ballet
Cadd9 G D Em
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you
Cadd9 G D
Awake to take in the view
Cadd9 G D
Late nights and early parades
Cadd9 G D
Still photos and noisy arcades
Cadd9 G D Em
My darling, we're both on the wing, look down and keep on singing
Cadd9 G D
And we can go anywhere
Cadd9 G D
Are you there?
In the actual song, there is another solo (G, Cadd9, Em, G) at the end, but I
think it sound better on guitar to just end on G. Well, hope this helps! :)
