Oh Icarus Ukulele chords by Megan Shumway

Intro:

G A C D (x2)


Verse 1:
G              A
Growing up the world was small
   C             D
I know so little if at all
   G                   A
Of lands outside these awful walls
    C          D
Oh, I can only dream

     G                 A
Sure there were plenty books to read
    C                D
And bold inventions, wild machines
   G                  A
My fathers gifts from great Athene
     C               D
Will save me now and set me free

Chorus:
Em        B
No longer caged, I’m flying
Em         B
Oer oceans vast, I’m shining
Em          D
The sun she seems to cry
    C                    G  A  C  D
Oh, Icarus, come home to me
             G  A  C  D
Come home to me


Verse 2:
    G                     A
The wind blows through my hair
    C             D
And ruffles up my wings
    G                 A
The sunshine gives me kisses
    C                     D
And the salt mist sweetly stings

G                   A
Alive at last, I’ll thrive at last
  C                D
I soar towards thе sun
    G             A
The wax is slowly dripping
            C                D
The ticking clock has just begun


Chorus:
Em        B
No longer caged, I’m flying
Em         B
Oer oceans vast, I’m shining
Em          D
The sun she seems to cry
    C                    G  A  C  D
Oh, Icarus, come home to me
             G  A  C  D
Come home to me


Bridge:
Em       B       A
Climbing higher, further from my past
Em        B        A
Above the birds, I start free falling fast
    C                     B
The winds knocked from my lungs
    C                B
The scorching of the sun
     C              B
Once tempting, tantalizing
     C      B         C     B              C    B     C    B
Is a golden fist that hurls me towards the sea


Chorus:
Em          B
And it’s so bright it’s blinding
Em          B
The wind is howling, biting
Em             D
The waves all seem to cry
   C                    G  A  C
Oh Icarus, come home to me
      D             G       A
As I plummet to the unfor - giving
C          D         Em   A
Glistening turquoise sea
