Flight Of Icarus Uke tab by Iron Maiden

[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]
         F#m
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
                             A E
Looks the old man in the eye
E
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
        F#m
In the name of God my father I'll fly
 
[Pre-chorus]
    F#m       E/G#
His eyes seem so glazed
        A                       B C#
As he flies on the wings of a dream
        F#m                 E/G#
Now he knows his father betrayed
        A                         B C#
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!
