"Icarus Ascending" by Dan Fogelberg on "Full Circle" 2002
Capo on 1st fret (only if you want to match the key of the recording)
The F#7 and A(add9) chords are just the E form moved up 2 and 5 frets
044300
[E]Soaring alone upon a [F#7]threatening wind
077600
[A(add9)]Just fix your eyes on the hor[E]izon
Cut off from everything you've [F#7]known or have been
[Aadd9]I shouldn't think it's so surp[E]risin'
Spiralling upward on a [F#7]freshening lift
[Aadd9]Reaching the realms of fleet Ap[E]ollo
You have been given the most [F#7]sacred of gifts
[Aadd9]You must be fearless now and [E]follow
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dan_fogelberg/icarus_ascending_crd.html )
CHORUS:
Don't look [Aadd9]down, though your [E]heart may be weary
Don't look [Aadd9]down, though your [E]wings are on fire
Don't look [Aadd9]down, though the [E]night may seem endless
There's a[D] reason you're flying this [Aadd9]fast and this far
May your [D]faith be your strength and your [Aadd9]love be your guiding [E]star
Venturing further than the lenght of your sight
Out past the reach of your beginings
There is a gamble in each proud act of flight
But the losses pale before the winnings
Circling and diving with this freedom you've found
Illusion blows apart and scatters
There is no darkness in this place that we're bound
Love is the only thing that matters
Repeat chorus
