                           / E5

What does the free fall feel like?

                                 G5

Asks the boy with a spark in his eye

                         A5

Know why the nightingale sings?

       C5        D5   E5(VII)

Is the answer to everything



                         E5

Taking a step to a world unbound

                          G5

Spinning my fantasies all around

                        A5

Freed from the gravital leash

            C5       D5    *Start Intro/Riff1*

I swear the heavenīs in my reach





                             / E5

Dancing with the spirit of the air

                          G5

In this ocean so open and fair

                        A5

Making love to the gods above

      C5     D5        E5(VII)

On my maiden voyage so bold



                           E5

Landing safely to the blue lagoon

                                       G5

Donīt know if this is the earth or the moon

                           A5

Joy of living is no more a mask

           C5         D5      *Start Riff 2*

The Eden I found will forever last



Riff 2 

Just play the chords several times 

with palm muting, and it will sound nice...      \

*Now i'll just tell the chords,*

G5        D#5          *Fill 1* 

Migrating with the geese

G5          D#5              *Fill 2*

My soul has finally found peace

G5                  D#5             *Fill 3* 

Doesnīt matter that man has no wings

G5           D#5

As long as I hear the nightingale sing...



Fill 1      Fill 2      Fill 3
