...FLYIN' HIGH (IN THE FRIENDLY SKY)...
by Marvin Gaye
*from 'What's Going On' (1971)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: G)
Intro:
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Wooh, ooh...
Verse 1:
Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever leavin' the ground, no.
Rest of the folks are tired and weary,
Oh Lord,
And have laidbtheir bodies down.
I go the place,
Where danger awaits me,
And it's bound to forsake me.
So stupid minded,
I can't help it.
Oh yah, so stupid minded,
But I go crazy,
When I can't find it,
Chorus 1:
In the morning,
I'll be alright, my friend.
But soon the night,
Will bring the pains,
The pain, oh the pain.
Verse 2:
Flying high in the friendly sky,
Flying high,
Without ever leavin' the ground.
And I ain't seen,
Nothing but trouble baby,
Nobody really understands, no no.
And I go to the place,
Where the good feelin',
A-waits me,
Selfdestruction in my hand.
Oh Lord,
So stupid minded
Oh and I go crazy,
When I can't find it.
Chorus 2:
Well I know,
I'm hooked my friend,
To the boy,
Who makes slaves,
Out of men.
And oh believe me...
Coda:
Flying high in a friendly sky,
Oh baby, flyin' high.
(Fade)
