Verse:
  FF    Am/E       DmDm      F/CF/C
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
   Bbmaj       Am7Am7        Gm7Gm7  C7C7
And danced the sky on laughter silvered wings
        FF     Am/E        DmDm  DbDb+5
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        Gm7Gm7  C7C7    FF
Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
    Bb majorBb     G+G      C majorC Bb majorBb   FF      Abmaj7Abmaj7
I've wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence
DbDb+5 Csus4Csus4  C7C7    FF     Am/E        DmDm
Hovering there I've chased the shouting winds aloft
 F/CF/C     Bb majorBb           Gm7Gm7 C7C7   FF
And flung my eager craft through footless halls of air

 Chorus:
  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7       Fmaj7/A
The higher we fly, the farther we go
  Gm7Gm7   Gm7/C   FF
The closer we are to each other
  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        Fmaj7/A
The darker the night, the brighter the star
  Gm7Gm7     Gm7/C    FF  Am/E DmDm DbDb+5
In peace go my sisters and brother

   F/CF/C  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7  Gm7Gm7  C7C7

Verse:
  FF    Am/E      DmDm     F/CF/C
Up, up, the long delirious burning blue
   Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        Am7Am7        G minorGm
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
 C7C7    FF    Am/E   DmDm
Where never lark nor even eagle flew
 DbDb+5      F/CF/C      G+G   C majorC  Bb majorBb
And while with silent lifting mind I trod
   FF  Am/E     DmDm      F/CF/C
The high untrespassed sanctity of space
  Bb majorBb       C9C9      FF
Put out my hand and touched the face of God

 Chorus:
  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7       Fmaj7/A
The higher we fly, the farther we go
  Gm7Gm7   Gm7/C
The closer we are to each other
  Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        Fmaj7/A
The darker the night, the brighter the star
  Gm7Gm7     Gm7/C    FF  Am/E DmDm DbDb+5
In peace go my sisters and brother
