The following song tells of John Denver's love for flight and it 
seems fit that his life ended doing what he loved.  He will be missed.


Flying For Me
John Denver     (klr)

Well, [D] I guess that you probably know by now
I was [Bm] one who wanted to fly
I wanted to [G] ride on that arrow of [A] fire right up into [D] 
heaven   [G]  [A]
And I [D] wanted to go for every man
Every [Bm] child, every mother of children
I wanted to [G] carry the dreams of all [A] people right up to the 
[D] stars   [G]   [A]

And I [D] prayed that I^Òd find an answer there
Or [Bm] maybe I^Òd find a song
Giving a [G] voice to all the [A] hearts that cannot be [D] heard     
[G]   [A]
And for [D] all the ones who live in fear
And [Bm] all those who stand apart
My being [G] there would bring us a [A] little step closer [D] 
together

They were flying for [G] me
They were [A] flying for every [D] one
They were trying to [G] see a brighter [A] day for each and evey [D] 
one
They gave us their [G] light
They gave us their [A] spirit and all they could [D] be
[G] They were [A] flying for [D] me
[G] They were [A] flying for [D] me

And I [G] wanted to wish on the [A] Milky Way
And [D] dance upon a falling [Bm] star
I wanted to [G] give myself and [G/e] free myself and [G] join myself 
with it [A] all
  [D]   [Bm]   [G]   [A]   [D]
Given the [G] chance to dream it [A] can be done
The [D] promise of tomorrow is [Bm] real
Children of the [G] spaceship earth
The [A] future belongs to us [D] all

She was flying for [G] me
She was [A] flying for every [D] one
She was flying to [G] see a brighter [A] day for each and every [D] 
one
She gave us her [G] light
She gave us her [A] spirit and all she can [D] be
[G] She was [A] flying for [D] me

They were flying for [G] me
They were [A] flying for every [D] one
They were trying to [G] see a brightrer [A] day for each and every 
[D] one
They gave us their [G] light
They gave us their [A] spirit and all they could [D] be
[G] They were [A] flying for [D] me      (4x)
