Flying

G

[Verse]
       G                         
It was just like strapping 'em on 
               G
and starting again
G                                 
Coaching these kids to the top, 
  Am           D
and calling them men
        C
I was a third round pick in the NHL
           C
And that's three years of living in 
hell
             G  D                 
And going up flying, and going 
  C G
home dying

   G                           
My life was over the boards and 
             G
playing the game
    G                            
And every day checking the papers 
     Am         D
and finding my name
    C
And dad would go crazy when the 
scouts would call;
     C
He'd tell me that I'd have it all

                  G  D            
Ninety nine of us trying, only one
       C  G
 of us flying

[Chorus]
    C                  D    
And every kid over the boards 
                  G
listens for the sound;
    C                         
The roar of the crowd is their 
 D                  G            D
ticket for finally leaving this town
           G
To be just one more hopeful in the 
Junior A
C
Dreaming of that miracle play
             G  D             
And going up flying, going home 
  C G
dying

[Verse]
  G                                
I tell them to think of the play 
             G
and not of the fame
           G                     
If they've got any future at all, 
      Am         D
it's not in the game
                  C
'Cause they'll be crippled and 
starting all over again
C
Selling on commissions and 
remembering
               G  D                
When they were flying, remembering 
C  G
dying

[Chorus]
    C                  D    
And every kid over the boards 
                  G
listens for the sound;
    C                         
The roar of the crowd is their 
 D                  G            D
ticket for finally leaving this town
           G
To be just one more hopeful in the 
Junior A
C
Dreaming of that miracle play
             G  D             
And going up flying, going home 
  C G
dying
