Iron Maiden - Flight of Icarus

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

[Verse]
       F#m 
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#m
A birdsong shatters the still

[Pre-chorus]
    F#m       E/G#
His eyes are ablaze
        A             B C#
See the madman in his gaze

[Chorus]
F#m         E           D
Fly on your way like an eagle
           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun
        E           D
On your way like an eagle
    E          F#m
Fly, touch the sun

[Verse]
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly

[Pre-chorus]
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave

[Chorus]
F#m         E           D
Fly on your way like an eagle
           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun
        E           D
On your way like an eagle
    E          F#m
Fly, touch the sun

(Solo)

[Chorus]
F#m         E           D
Fly on your way like an eagle
           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun
        E           D
On your way like an eagle
           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun
        E           D
On your way like an eagle
   E           F#m
Fly, touch the sun
        E          D
On your way like an eagle
 E
Fly

[Outro/Solo]
F#m  E/G#  A  B  x4

(B)                          F#m
    Fly as high as the sun...    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
A E F#m
