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.
C Fm6
I'm lea-ning o-n the e-verla--sting a-------rms.
PRECHORUS
E7 Am7
If I can s-ee i--t,
Fm6/Ab
then I can d-o i--t. (second time around, he says 'be' instead of 'do')
C/G
If I just believe i--t,
F/G G
there's nothing t-o i--t.
CHORUS
C
I believe I can fl-y.
Am
I believe I can touch the sk-y.
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.
Fm6
I believe I can fl---y.
Am7
I believe I can fl---y.
(can use Fm6 after Am7 to transition from chorus to verse)
VERSE 2
C Fm6
See I- was o-n the ver-ge of brea-kin' dow--n.
C Fm6
So-meti-mes si-lence can see-m so lou--d.
C Fm6
Th-ere are mir-acles in li-fe I mu-st achi--eve,
C Fm6
But fir-st I kno-w it star-ts insi-de of m--e o---h.
right into PRECHORUS then CHORUS
CHORUS 2 EXTENSION
C/G Fm6 Am7
I....fl---y. I....fl---y. I....fl---y. (last lines of chorus)
Dm7 Am7 F/G
(small instrumental) He--y, cause I- belie--ve in yo----u. O----h.
right into PRECHORUS then CHORUS
CHORUS 3 EXTENSION
C/G Fm6 Am7
I....fl---y. I....fl---y. I....fl---y. (last lines of chorus)
Fm6/Ab C/G
If I just spre--ad my wing------s, I-- can fly. (I can fly!)
Fm6/Ab C/G
I-- can fly. (I can fly!) I-- can fly.
Fm6/Ab
If I just spre--ad my wing------s,
C/G Fm6/Ab C/G
I-- can fl-------(I can fly!)-------(I can fly!)-------y!
Fm6/Ab C/G
Woo! (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."
