Learning To Fly (acoustic guitar) chords
Pink Floyd 1987 (A Momentary Lapse of Reason) *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_to_Fly_(Pink_Floyd_song)
Into the distance, a ribbon of black;
Em D \ G
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field;
Em D \ G
Standing alone my senses reel
A fatal attraction is holding me fast;
Em D \ G
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies;
Tongue-tied and twisted,
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings;
Em D \ G
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home;
Em D \ G
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly;
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies;
Tongue-tied and twisted,
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer;
Em D \ G
My grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly;
Em D \ G
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light;
Em D \ G
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this;
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling sky;
Tongue-tied and twisted,
Just an earth-bound misfit, I
G G Em 3x
