CHORD LIST: C -------> X32010 C/G -----> 332010 Fm6 -----> xx0111 Fm6/Ab --> 430111 F/G -----> 3x3210 E7 ------> 020100 E/Ab ----> 4x245x or 000100 (much easier, but doesn't sound as good) Am7 -----> x02010 Am ------> x02210 G -------> 320033 Dm7 -----> xx0211 STANDARD TUNING; CAPO 1. Capo 1 matches song, I personally like Capo on 2 though. Also, at the bottom, I'll put an easier version built off this one for any beginners. You should also check out some fingerstyle versions of this song, which are pretty sweet. VERSE 1 C Fm6 I u-sed to thi-nk that I- could no--t, go o---n, C Fm6 and li-fe was no-thing bu-t an aw--ful so----ng. C Fm6 But no-w I kno-w the mea-ning o-f, true lo---ve.

Dm7 I think about it every n--ight and day. G Spread my wings and fl-y awa--y. E/G# Am I believe I can s--oar. Fm6/Ab I see me running through that o-pen do--or. C/G I believe I can fl---y.

(I can fly!) (instrumental) Hu---m. Fly-y--------y. **above (instrumental) is actually a nine note scale, but I couldn't really figure out how to play it. I think it might be a dorian scale. I play a D dorian scale cus it goes nicely with capo on 2, and play a C/G chord as the 9th note, which is the same C/G chord above "Hu--m." e|-----------------0-| B|---------------1-1-| G|---------0-2-3---0-| D|-----1-3---------2-| A|-3-5-------------3-| E|-----------------3-| SIMPLER VERSION Verses --> C - Fm6 PreChorus --> Am - Fm6 - C - G Chorus --> C - Am - Dm7 - G - Am - Fm6 - C - Fm6 - Am C2 Extension --> Dm7 - Am - G C3 Extension --> Fm6 - C x5
