...FLYIN' HIGH (IN THE FRIENDLY SKY)... by Marvin Gaye
---------------------------------------...............

*from 'What's Going On' (1971)*


Intro:

Gm9
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woo, ooh...

Verse 1:

Gm9
 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.

Gm9
 I go the place where danger awaits me,
Dm9
 And it's bound to forsake me.
Gm9               Am9
 So stupid minded; I can't help it. Oh yah, so stupid minded.
Cm9                     Gm9
 But I go crazy, when I can't find it.

Chorus 1:

C7sus4          C7
 In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
Fmaj7               Bbmaj7          Am9
 But soon the night, will bring the pains, the pain, oh pain.

Verse 2:

Gm9
 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.

Gm9                                              Dm9
 And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-waits me;
Self-destruction in my hand.
        Gm9        Am9
Oh Lord, so stupid minded,
Cm9                         Gm9
 Oh, but I go crazy, when I can't find it.

Chorus 2:

C7sus4            C7
 Well, I know I'm hooked, my friend,
Fmaj7       Bbmaj7            Am9
 To the boy, who makes slaves out of men.
Gm9
 And oh, believe me...

Coda:

Gm9
 Flying high in a friendly sky, oh baby, flyin' high.
