G D        Am    Em 
Tonight we fly 
C        G           D               B/D# 
Over the houses, the streets and the trees 
Em       G/B         C 
Over the dogs down below 
        Em          Am 
They'll bark at our shadows 
   C        D7        G {cycle these chords till the end} 
As we float by on the breeze 

Tonight we fly 
Over the chimney tops, skylights and slates 
Looking into all your lives 
And wondering why 
Happiness is so hard to find 

{The D7 is missed out in this section} 
Over the doctor, over the soldier 
Over the farmer, over the poacher 
Over the preacher, over the gambler 
Over the teacher, over the rambler 
Over the lawyer, over the dancer 
Over the voyeur 
Over the builder and the destroyer 
Over the hills and far away 

Tonight we fly 
Over the mountains, the beach and the sea 
Over the friends that we've known 
And those that we now know 
And those who we've yet to meet 

And when we die 
Oh, will we be that disappointed or sad? 
{The bass descends in steps from now on} 
If heaven doesn't exist 
What will we have missed? 
                                 G(4-3) 
This life is the best we've ever had
