...FLYIN' HIGH (IN THE FRIENDLY SKY)... by Marvin Gaye ---------------------------------------............... *from 'What's Going On' (1971)* *CAPO 3rd FRET* (Original Key: ) 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 laid their 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 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; Self-destruction 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.
