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
