Flight of Icarus

[Intro] G  D  Em

       Em
As the sun breaks above the ground
   Em
An old man stands on the hill
G        D
As the ground warms to the
                    G
First rays of light
   Em
A birdsong shatters the still

    Em          D/F#
His eyes are ablaze
         G             A  B
See the madman in his ga___ze

  Em         D           C
Fly on your way like an eagle
            D       Em
Fly as high as the sun
         D          C
On your way like an eagle
      D         Em
Fly, touch the sun  Yeah!

          Em
Now the crowd breaks
       Em
And a young boy appears
 Em
Looks the old man in the eye
G        D
As he spreads his wings
      D
And shouts at the crowd
G       Em
In the name of God
                 Em
My father I'll fly

    Em             D/F#
His eyes seem so glazed
        G                        A
As he flies on the wings of a dream
         Em                 D/F#
Now he knows his father betrayed
         G
Now his wings turn to ashes,
   A           B
To ashes his grave

  Em         D           C
Fly on your way like an eagle
            D       Em
Fly as high as the sun
         D          C
On your way like an eagle
      D         Em
Fly, touch the sun

On your way like an eagle

Fly, touch the sun
  Em         D           C
Fly on your way like an eagle
