G                 F          Am
I want to try, I want to be me
G                      F       Am
I want to get high, I want to see
G                 F           Am
I want to fly, I want to be free

[Verse 1]
E
I take the trail from Katmandu
        B
With a different kind of trip in view
D
Everest is behind the town
 A
Mountain high, bound to get higher
A
in my glider, I'm the Kadu Flyer
 C              G
Cygnus of the skies, the prize
    D               A
and I will rise to win it
 E           B
Never fly through a cloud
     D
if there's a mountain in it

[Verse 2]
 E
My route is by the steep ascent
    B
do battle with the elements
 D
Facing perils like freezing winds
 A
downdraft dangers want to drag me down
      A
My straining ailerons the only sound
     C              G
I'm carried by the keening wind
          D           A
with the dandelions glide
E              B
Everest, I'll never rest
      D
I'll see you a mogul when I'm high

[Chorus]
G                 F          Am
I want to try, I want to be me
G                      F       Am
I want to get high, I want to see
G                 F           Am
I want to fly, I want to be free

  E
Crawl the thermal up a mountain
 B
like the Pterodactyl's wings
 D
Waves of lift and wing vibrations
 A
help me to invoke the sun
  A
true me up in soaring fun
 C                G
Rising like the phoenix
    D                    A
in full flight from the fire
    E              B
A dragon wing of stick and string
  D
gliding higher and higher and higher
