Flying
(Silks & Satins)
Intro: Em7

Em7                                                         Am7

Silks and satins and velvet soft evenings and penthouse nights

Em7                                                                Am7

Way down below me the maze of the city streets shine.

Bm7                                                     G

I hear the soul and the heart of the city, it pounds.

         Bm7                                                       G

While I fly up here; I'm two thousand feet above ground.

   Am7                                         Cm7

It happened tonite, I had to do it or die

   Am7                                                   D

It happened tonite, I finally learned how to fly.

And so diving and soaring and swirling I fly like the wind
How did I do it? I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I was playing a solo on my electric guitar
And the next thing I know I'm sailing around through the air.
It happened tonite, I had to do it or die
It happened tonite, I finally learned how to fly.

BREAK (as verse)

I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! What more can I say
It's a thrill beyond words, it completely captures the day.
And so now I'll go flying as well as go dancing all night.
I feel like a feather, I feel like a small beam of light
It happened tonite, I had to do it or die
It happened tonite, I finally learned how to fly.

BREAK (as verse)

     
Em
I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying!
