Iron Maiden – Flight Of Icarus Chord

[Intro]
A E,   F# (Muted gallop on F#)

[Verse]
F# 
As the sun breaks above the ground
                                A  
An old man stands on the hill
 E                                              A 
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
  F#
A birdsong shatters the still
    F#        G#   
His eyes are ablaze
        A             B C#
See the madman in his gaze

[Chorus]
F#          E           C#/D 
Fly on your way like an eagle
C#/D   E           F#
Fly as high as the sun
        E             C#/D
On your wings like an eagle
C#/D    E         F#
Fly and touch the sun

[Verse]
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave

[Chorus] (x2)
F#          E           C#/D 
Fly on your way like an eagle
C#/D   E           F#
Fly as high as the sun
        E             C#/D
On your wings like an eagle
C#/D    E         F#
Fly and touch the sun

[Outro]
Fly as high as the sun……
A E, F#
