Icarus Ascending Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Dan Fogelberg
"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                    F#7    
Soaring alone upon a threatening wind

077600
A(add9)                      E
Just fix your eyes on the horizon

                               F#7
Cut off from everything you've known or have been

Aadd9                         E
I shouldn't think it's so surprisin'

                       F#7
Spiralling upward on a freshening lift

Aadd9                          E
Reaching the realms of fleet Apollo

                             F#7
You have been given the most sacred of gifts

Aadd9                        E
You must be fearless now and follow


CHORUS:

           Aadd9             E
Don't look down, though your heart may be weary

           Aadd9             E
Don't look down, though your wings are on fire

           Aadd9            E
Don't look down, though the night may seem endless
       
         D                          Aadd9
There's a reason you're flying this fast and this far

         D                               Aadd9                E 
May your faith be your strength and your love be your guiding 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
