The way I play this song is kind
of in the middle of strumming and
fingerpicking. I like to slowly
strum the first three or four strings
of the chord, then pluck the bottom
strings (upward motion) to imitate
the high note on the piano like Chris
plays in the song. You can play like
this throughout the song or you can
also pick it up (strum).

 
INTRO:  D, A, F#m, E, C#m x2 (Note: The transition between C#m and the next D is quick)


VERSE:

D           A
   Flock of birds
F#m         E       C#m
Hovering above
D               A
Just a flock of birds
F#m                        E      C#m  
That's how you think of love


CHORUS:

(C#m)  D   C#m  
And I always
                F#m
Look up to the sky 
                 E
Pray before the dawn
  C#m          D  C#m
Cause they fly always
                  F#m
Sometimes they arrive
                    E
Sometimes they are gone
      C#m (D) 
They fly on


INTERLUDE: C#m, D (x2)

VERSE:

D           A
   Flock of birds
F#m        E            C#m
Hovering above
D              A
Into smoke I'm turned and rise 
F#m             E       C#m
Following them up


CHORUS:

(C#m)    D  C#m
Still I always
                F#m
Look up to the sky
                 E
Pray before the dawn
       C#m      D C#m
Cause they fly away
                  F#m
One minute they arrive
                        E
Next you know they're gone

      C#m  D   C#m   F#m   E
They fly on
C#m   D        C#m   F#m   E    
Fly on             Oh


OUTRO:

   C#m  D        E
So fly on, ride through
C#m                      F#m
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you

C#m  D        E
Fly on, ride through
C#m                  F#m
Maybe one day I can fly with you
C#m  D  C#m  D
Fly on
C#m  D  C#m  D
Fly on
C#m  D
Fly on

HOPE THIS HELPED!
