Looking for space    (intro)

 

    C - Em - F - G (2x)

 

    C               Em           F            - G

1.     On the road of experience,

            C         Em                 F     - G

    I’m trying to find my own way,

C                   Em             F           G      C     - Em - F - G

    sometimes I wish that  I could fly away.

 

    C               Em                  F          - G

2.     When I think that I’m moving,

      C             Em      F             - G

    suddenly things stand still,

C          Em                  F             G         C     - Em - F

    I’m afraid ‘cause I think they always will.

 

              G                  F     - Dm             G                   C     - Em - F

And I’m looking for space,         and to find out who I am,

              G                F          Dm       G      - G7

and I’m looking to know and understand.

              F          G      C       F                     G           C

It’s a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I’m almost there,

  F                 G             C  Am         F                     Dm              G    - G7

sometimes I fly like an eagle, and sometimes I’m deep in despair.

 

    C        Em              F            - G

3.     All alone in the universe,

      C                        Em       F          - G

    sometimes that’s how it seems,

C          Em            F             G             C        - Em - F - G

    I get lost in the sadness and the screams.

 

    C             Em             F           - G

4.     Then I look in the center,

      C           Em      F                 - G

    suddenly everything’s clear,

C                Em            F             G            C         - Em - F

    I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams.

    C               Em           F            - G

5.     On the road of experience,

     C             Em      F    - G

    join in the living day,

C                     Em               F                G             C      - Em - F

    if there’s an answer, it’s just that it’s just that way.

 

                      G                  F    - Dm            G                         C  - Em - F

When you’re looking for space,        and to find out who you are,

                      G             F          Dm           G      - G7

when you’re looking to try and reach the stars.

              F        G         C                  F                     G          C

It’s a sweet, sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I’m almost there,

  F                 G             C  Am         F                     Dm              G    - G7

sometimes I fly like an eagle, and sometimes I’m deep in despair.

 

     F                 G              C        - Em - F - G

+ Sometimes I fly like an eagle,

                 C Em  - F         G       C - Em - F - G    - C

    like an ea..gle       I go flying hi...................gh.
