It's easy to play the song in C-major. Perhaps you have to transpose it or
use a capo if you want to play with the original recording.

Intro:

We're sitting out here on the runway,

 C                        
 F
Waiting for the plane to leave,
        
 C                            
 F
And the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay,
              
 G
Bear with me please,"


     
 C                 
 F   
They gave us the usual hassle,
     
 C                           
 F
"You can't take those guitars on board,"
        
 A           
 E         
 F
But the boys in the band just smiled,
         
 G
Heard it all before,


               
 A                 
 F   
And as they're starting to serve Champagne
        
 E                         
 F
To the folks at the front of the plane,
      
 C         
 Bb     
 F                     
 G
I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,

Chorus:
           
 A   
 G  
 F   
And we are flying home,

I feel the freedom in my soul,

 A   
 G

Flying home at last;

 A  
 G   
 F
Flying home,
             
 A       
 G     
 F
I've got the freedom in my soul,

And it's four in the morning,

My world is calling,

 F
The movie reminds of my lady,
    
 C                          
 F
As she waits, "where are those guys?"
         
 C               
 G          
 F               
 G
Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,
   
            
 A                    
 F
And now the sun is beginning to rise,
            
 E                 
 F
It's like looking down on Paradise,
           
 A       
 Bb          
 F                
 G
There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,

Chorus:

           
 A  
 G   
 F   
And we are flying home,

And it's four in the morning,
