learning to fly ( acoustic guitar ) chords
pink floyd *

G G Em

G
into the distance , a ribbon of black;
Em D/G
stretched to the point of no turning back
G
a flight of fancy on a windswept field;
Em D/G
standing alone my senses reel
G
a fatal attraction is holding me fast;
Em D/C
how can i escape this irresistible grasp?

C Am
can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies;
F
tongue – tied and twisted ,
C D G
just an earth – bound misfit , i

G G Em

G
ice is forming on the tips of my wings;
Em D/G
unheeded warnings , i thought i thought of everything
G
no navigator to find my way home;
Em D/C
unladen , empty and turned to stone

C Am
a soul in tension that’s learning to fly;
F C
condition grounded but determined to try
C Am
can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies;
F
tongue – tied and twisted ,
C D G
just an earth – bound misfit , i

G
above the planet on a wing and a prayer;
Em D/G
my grubby halo , a vapor trail in the empty air
G
across the clouds i see my shadow fly;
Em D/G
out of the corner of my watering eye

G
a dream unthreatened by the morning light;
Em D/C
could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

C Am
there’s no sensation to compare with this;
F C
suspended animation , a state of bliss
C Am
can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies;
F
tongue – tied and twisted ,
C D G
just an earth – bound misfit , i
