FLY
As recorded by The Jam
(From the 1978 Album ALL MOD CONS)
 
 
 
[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
The way that sunlight flits across your skirt
      G                        D
Makes me feel I'm from another world
G                                 D
To touch your face in the morning light
       G                       D
I hope you're always gonna be around
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                            D
The times I struggle to understand why
G                                D
The ancient proverbs like who am I?
G                           D
Why am I here and what have I done?
G                                 D
I see the answer's place my trust in you
 
 
[Bridge]
A
Trust in you love, be with me then
                        F#m7                       B7
That's when I want you, that's when I need you the most
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                      D
I want us to be like Peter Pan
G                                  D
But dreams it seems are weightless as sand
G                       D
And man's supposedly is made of sand
G                                D     N.C.
It seems that man cannot survive at all
 
 
[Bridge]
A
Let's disappear love, let's fly away
         G           F#m7              B7
Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone
 
 
[Interlude]
D   G D   G D   G D
 
 
[Verse 4]
G                             D
The times inside I spent screaming at you
G                              D
Release me please from this mortal jail
G                                   D
One shrug or smile can determine my fate
G                                    D    N.C.
I'm lost for days and have myself to blame
 
 
[Interlude]
A   B   D     E   A E
A B
 
 
[Outro]
D                   G A    D                   G A
Something I'm giving,   is yours for the taking
E              B       A B E             B    A B
Something like sunlight,   love is a spotlight
D                 G A            D                B A
Love is all sorrow,   still I'll meet you tomorrow
         E              B  A B       E                  B  A B
And look forward to see you,   now I can't live without you
