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 

     F/C   Bb7M   Gm7    C7 

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 
    Gm7      Gm7/C      
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 

Gm7    C7      F       Fsus2    Fadd2
