It's easy to play the song in C-major. Perhaps you have to transpose it or
use a capo if you want to play with the original recording.

Intro: C F C F
C F
We're sitting out here on the runway,
C F
Waiting for the plane to leave,
C F
And the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay,
G
Bear with me please,"


C F
They gave us the usual hassle,
C F
"You can't take those guitars on board,"
a e F
But the boys in the band just smiled,
G
Heard it all before,


a F
And as they're starting to serve Champagne
e F
To the folks at the front of the plane,
C Bb F G
I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,

Chorus:
a G F
And we are flying home,
a G F
I feel the freedom in my soul,
a G F C G
Flying home at last;
a G F
Flying home,
a G F
I've got the freedom in my soul,
e
And it's four in the morning,
e
My world is calling,
G d F C F C F
Speeding through the universe tonight...


C F
The movie reminds of my lady,
C F
As she waits, "where are those guys?"
C G F G
Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,

a F
And now the sun is beginning to rise,
e F
It's like looking down on Paradise,
a Bb F G
There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,

Chorus:

a G F
And we are flying home,
a G F
I feel the freedom in my soul,
a G F C G
Flying home at last;
a G F
Flying home,
a G F
I've got the freedom in my soul,
e
And it's four in the morning,
e
My world is calling,
G d F C F C
Speeding through the universe tonight...

Fade out on chords of first to stanzas (sax solo)

I'm not quite sure about the chord Bb it might be something different :-)
