about

This song was written with my student Julia Doerner whose Mom donated to the tour. Her mother loves to fly and got Julia interested in it so much that she pursued her pilots license and is now working for Boeing testing planes. Her mother wanted a song written about flying above this world looking down. I thought it would fit nicely into this collection of songs.

lyrics

Intro
C Dmi7/C
F/C C


Verse 1
Each chord 4 beats

C Dmi7/C
Riding to the Airport with you
F/C F C
Though I don’t Remember which one anymore
C Dm/C
But I remember within the dreary gray
F/C C
the clouds and rain that threatened the day

Prechorus
C
I have pictures in my head
G/B
Snapshots of you
Amin Dmi // G//
Standing in the runway must have changed your point of view

G/F// C/E // G
Chorus

F // G7//
And now I’m wading though the clouds
Emi // F//
Hanging on the air
Dmin// G//
Sweeping up the blue
Emi // Ami//
A thousand feet of solitude
Dmi //// G //// C // F/C//
between the ground and you


C // F//


C Dmi/C
You told me you don’t like roller coasters
F/C C
They are pale comparisons to the real thing
C Dmi/C
Their was a thrill and excitement and for a time I held it
F/C C
and suddenly my point of view changed

Prechorus
C
Chasing our passion
G/B
Through the skies you were
Amin Dmi // G//
always their flying by my side
G/F// C/E // G//

Chorus

F // G7//
And now I’m wading though the clouds
Emi // F//
Hanging on the air
Dmin// G//
Sweeping up the blue
Emi // Ami//
A thousand feet of solitude
Dmi //// G //// C //
between the ground and you

C/E // F// G// G7//
C/E // F// G// G7//

Repeat Chorus
