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]
A              E
We will fly
              F/A
Way up high
          D                   A
Where the cold wind blows
                E
Or in the sun
                F/A
Laughing having fun
          D                        A
With the people that she knows
                       E
And if the situation
                   F/A
Should keep us separated
             D                       A
You know the world won't fall apart
                  E                   F/A
And you will free the beautiful bird
                          D
That's caught inside your heart
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
          E/D         D
Can't you hear her?
    E/D             D
Oh she cries so loud
          E/D         D
Casts her wild note
      E/D         A
Over water and cloud
 
[Chorus]
       D       A        Bm          G          D
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
          A             Bm     G            D
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    A         Bm         G         D
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           A         Bm          G             D
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
[Instrumental]
A   E   F/A   D   A
 
[Verse 2]
                E
You will grow
                    F/A
And until you go
          D                          A
I'll be right there by your side
                E
And even then
                   F/A
Whisper the wind
             D                    A
And she will carry up your ride
           E                        F/A
I hear all the people of the world
             D             A
In one bird's lonely cry
               E                         F/A
See them trying every way they know how
                     D
To make their spirit fly
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          E/D          D
Can't you see him?
            E/D         D
He's down on the ground
           E/D           D
He has a broken wing
         E/D           A
Looking all around
 
[Chorus]
       D       A        Bm          G          D
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
          A             Bm     G            D
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    A         Bm         G         D
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           A         Bm          G             D
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
               A        Bm          G          D
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'

We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah

Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           A         Bm          G             D
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
               A        Bm          G          D
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'

We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
    A         Bm         G         D
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           A         Bm          G             D
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
               A        Bm          G          D
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'

Way up in the sky, little darlin'
           A         Bm          G             A
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
