Hello all,

I'm pretty sure I've figured out 'Fly High' on guitar, though I am more than open to suggestions, revisions, etc. The only place I'm a bit questionable is the chord played over the line "every window down below." I think it's a Bm like the rest, but I could be wrong. Thoughts?

CAPO II


[D] I知 flying on this plane
Back into your arms again
And my [G] eyes are sad and cloudy
My teardrops fall like [D] rain

[D] As I look down past my wing
Flying home to you again
In the [G] clouds I see your picture
While the engine sings your [D] name

I知 [Bm] flying [D] high, up [Bm] in the [D] sky
But my [G] heart keeps looking for you
All around, down on the [D] ground

On [Bm] every [D] hill, in [Bm] every [D] house
I [G] see your face in [Bm] every window down [D] below

[D] I知 thinking, flying here of those arguments we had
Of the [G] times we slammed our door
Said goodbye good[D]bye

[D] I walked away a dozen times
I drove away a hundred more
But [G] all the trains and all the buses brought me back here to our [D] door

I知 [Bm] flying [D] high, up [Bm] in the [D] sky
But my [G] heart keeps looking for you
All around, down on the [D] ground

On [Bm] every [D] hill, in [Bm] every [D] house
I [G] see your face in [Bm] every window down [D] below

I知 [Bm] flying [D] high, up [Bm] in the [D] sky
But my [G] heart keeps looking for you
All around, down on the [D] ground

On [Bm] every [D] hill, in [Bm] every [D] house
I [G] see your face in [Bm] every window down [D] below
I [G] see your face in [Bm] every window down [D] below

Okay, after listening to Anders play this live on WFUV, I think my transcription is correct with one exception.

I'm pretty sure that what I originally interpreted as:

[Bm] On every [D] hill
[Bm] In every [D] house
I [G] see your face in [Bm] every window down [D] below

...should actually be played as such:

[Bm] On every [D] hill
[Bm] In every [D] house
I [G] see your face in [Am] every window down [Bm] below


Thoughts?
