[C]                     [G] 
'cross the bearing strait to a foreign land 
[F]               [C]         [G] 
I took to the sky just like I planned 

[C]                     [G] 
left my old life behind there in the ice and snow 

[F]                     [G] 
followed the rainbow to Mexico 

          [C]                     [G] 
somewhere this side of lucky just shy of going down 

          [F]                    [G] 
there's a pilot with her wings on fire 

         [C]                        [G] 
and she doesn't even notice she's got magic on her mind 

            [F]                [G] 
'cause she's flying solo for the first time 
  

CHORUS: 

      [Am] [F]           [C]          [G] 
flying  solo     like an angel in the night 

      [Am] [F]      [C]            [G] 
flying solo      across the great divide 

          [Am]    [F]        [Am]   [F] 
I've been down so low now I'm up so high 

             [Am]            [F] 
there ain't nothin' short of dying 

         [C]               [G] 
is gonna make me change my mind 

      [Am][F] [C][G]           [Am][F] [C] [G] 
flyin' solo         ,   flyin' solo 
  

[C] 
like a fallin' leaf 

[G] 
I fell down from your tree 

[F]              [G] 
chalk one up to prosperity 

[C] 
in search of warmer waters 

[G] 
I'm like a bird gone south 

[F] 
don't know just what I'll find 

    [G] 
but I'm finding out 

             [C] 
now here I'm dancin' with the moon 

        [G] 
spinning out of control 

[F]               [G] 
never be the same again 

                 [C] 
'cause there's a place on the horizon 

         [G] 
where it hardly ever rains 

    [F] 
the sun is always shining 

[G] 
freedom is it's name 

(CHORUS) 

[F]                   [C]       [G] 
around the world that where I'll be 

[F]                    [C]       [G] 
Amelia earheart's got nothin' on me 

(CHORUS)

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 3
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: F ↔ Am
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
