F Am/E Dm Db5+ F/C Bb7M Gm7 C7
Verse
F Am/E Dm F/C
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
Bb7M Am7 Gm7 C7
And danced the sky on laughter silvered wings
F Am/E Dm Db+5
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Bb7M Gm7 C7 F
Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
Bb G C Bb F Abmaj7
I've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence
Db+5 Csus4 C7 F Am/E Dm
Hovering there I've chased the shouting winds aloft
F/C Bb Gm7 C7 F
And flung my eager craft through footless halls of air
Bb7M Fmaj7/A
The higher we fly, the farther we go
Gm7 Gm7/C F
The closer we are to each other
Bb7M Fmaj7/A
The darker the night, the brighter the star
Gm7 Gm7/C F Am/E Dm Db5+
In peace go my sisters and brother

Verse
F Am/E Dm F/C
Up, up, the long delirious burning blue
Bb7M Am7 Gm
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
C7 F Am/E Dm
Where never lark nor even eagle flew
Db+5 F/C G C Bb
And while with silent lifting mind I trod
F Am/E Dm F/C
The high untrespassed sanctity of space
Bb C9 F
Put out my hand and touched the face of God
Bb7M Fmaj7/A
The higher we fly, the farther we go

The darker the night, the brighter the star

In peace go my sisters and brother
