Flight Of Icarus

Iron Maiden

A E F#mi
  
       F#mi
As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill.
A  E
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A F#mi
A birdsong shatters the still.

    F#mi     A
His eyes are ablaze,
        A             C#
See the madman in his gaze.

   F#mi         E            D
R: Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
               E      F#mi
   Fly as high as the sun,
   On your way, like an eagle,
   Fly and touch the sun.

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream.
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave.

R: Fly, on your way, like an eagle...
