Ok, Firstly props to killertwist for the original tab, I have revised to include
chords over the whole song, some corrections and to make it app play along
friendly. Anyone that has any comments or suggestions lemme know and I will
check and revise if needed ;). Cheers!
 
This is how we play it live, and it's as close as I can get to the original track:

** NOTE - With the verse and pre chorus I normally use a 3 string finger picking pattern.
I pick the bass or lowest note in the chord with my thumb then play the note fingered on the
B and G string. Listen to the song for the timing ;)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
B              F#
We will fly
              G#/B
Way up high
          E                   B
Where the cold wind blows
                F#
Or in the sun
                G#/B
Laughing having fun
          E                        B
With the people that she knows
                       F#
And if the situation
                   G#/B
Should keep us separated       
             E                       B
You know the world won't fall apart
                  F#                   G#/B
And you will free the beautiful bird
                          E
That's caught inside your heart  
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
          F#/E         E
Can't you hear her?
    F#/E             E
Oh she cries so loud
          F#/E         E
Casts her wild note
      F#/E         B
Over water and cloud
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       E       B        C#m          A          E
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
          B             C#m     A            E
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    B         C#m         A         E
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           B         C#m          A             B
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
B   F#   G#/B   E   B
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                F#
You will grow
                    G#/B
And until you go
          E                          B
I'll be right there by your side
                F#
And even then
                   G#/B
Whisper the wind
             E                    B
And she will carry up your ride
           F#                        G#/B
I hear all the people of the world
             E             B
In one bird's lonely cry
               F#                         G#/B
See them trying every way they know how
                     E
To make their spirit fly
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
          F#/E          E
Can't you see him?
            F#/E         E
He's down on the ground
           F#/E           E
He has a broken wing
         F#/E            B
Looking all around 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       E       B        C#m          A          E
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
          B             C#m     A            E
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    B         C#m         A         E
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           B         C#m          A             E
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
               B        C#m          A          E
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
         B             C#m     A           E
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    B         C#m         A         E
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           B         C#m          A             E
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
               B        C#m          A          E
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
         B             C#m     A           E
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    B         C#m         A         E
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           B         C#m          A             E
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
               B        C#m          A          E
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
         B             C#m     A           E
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    B         C#m         A         E
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           B         C#m          A             E
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
Repeat until fade.
