Buffalo Springfield — Expecting To Fly Chords

One of the best songs ever, it first grabbed my attention on the film Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas (also an amazing book!)



D                       Am        
There you stood on the edge of your feather
G            A   
Expecting to fly
D                Am  
While I laughed, I wondered whether 
G                A D 
I could wave goodbye
G                   C
Knowin' that you'd gone
Dm             G     
By the summer it was healing
C                F
We had said goodbye
Dm                   G
All the years we'd spent with feeling
C             F
Ended with a cry
Fmaj7 Cmaj7               F
Babe,       ended with a cry
Fmaj7 Cmaj7               D
Babe,       ended with a cry

D           Am
I tried so hard to stand
       G                        A 
As I stumbled and fell to the ground 
D           Am  
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
      G                     A D
And reached for the love I found
 G               C
Knowin' it was gone
Dm           G    
If I never lived without you
 C                F
Now you know I'd die
Dm           G
If I never said I loved you
 C                F
Now you know I'd try
Fmaj7 Cmaj7                   F
Babe,       now you know I'd try
Fmaj7 Cmaj7             F
Babe,       now you know I'd try
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 
Babe

Enjoy,
