...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.
