Flyin High In The Friendly Sky

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

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

(Original Key: Gm)

Intro:

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wooh, ooh...

Verse 1:

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.

I go the place where danger awaits me,

And it's bound to forsake me.

So stupid minded; I can't help it. Oh yah, so stupid minded.

But I go crazy, when I can't find it.

Chorus 1:

In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.

But soon the night, will bring the pains, the pain, oh pain.

Verse 2:

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.

And I go to the place, where the good feelin' a-waits me;

Self-destruction in my hand.

Oh Lord, so stupid minded,

Oh, and I go crazy, when I can't find it.

Chorus 2:

Well, I know I'm hooked, my friend,

To the boy, who makes slaves out of men.

And oh believe me...

Coda:

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