expecting to fly chords
buffalo springfield ( neil young ) *

C Gm
there you stood on the edge of your feather
F G
expecting to fly
C Gm
while i laughed , i wondered whether
F G C
i could wave goodbye
F A#
knowin’ that you’d gone

Cm F
by the summer it was healing
A# Cm
we had said goodbye
F
all the years we’d spent with feeling
A# Cm
ended with a cry

A# Cm
babe , ended with a cry
A# Cm
babe , ended with a cry

C Gm
i tried so hard to stand
F G
as i stumbled and fell to the ground
C Gm
so hard to laugh as i fumbled
F G C
and reached for the love i found
F A#
knowin’ it was gone

Cm F
if i never lived without you
A# Cm
now you know i’d die
F
if i never said i loved you
A# Cm
now you know i’d try

A# Cm
babe , now you know i’d try
A# Cm
babe , now you know i’d try
A#
babe
