This is my second chord... By Alejandro Maximo "Nano" from Chile... 
alejandromaxgon@udec.cl

Note: to easy learn of this song, learn the intro, part A and C is equal than it. 
A* is a variation of A.
Thanx.


 A* =    577655
 Asus =  000230
 Esus =  022200
 G# =    466544
 G7sus4 =353533 

intro: (A   D  A*  D ,  A  D  Asus  Esus ) X2
       (A*  A  D)X2

Part A: (repeats the intro)

    A          D      A*    D     A    D  Asus Esus
 he could have turned in   turned in  but he   turned out
 A D   A*    D  A    D     Asus  Esus  (A*  A  D)X2
 a bad time, nothing could save  him
 A        D  A*  D     A         D     Asus  Esus
 alone in a  corridor, waiting, locked out   he got
 A      D   A*   D    	   A   D       Asus Esus   (A*  A  D)X2
 up out of their way, ran for hundreds of   miles
  A         D   A*    D         A     D     Asus  Esus
 he made it to the ocean, had a smoke and a tea
      A	   D    A*  D       A    D  Asus Esus    (A*  A  D)X4
 the wind rose up,  set him down on his  knees

Part B:
G#          A*              G#          A*
A wave came crashin' like a fist to the jaw
  G#            A*          G#       A*	    (A*  A  D)X2			 
delivered him.. wings high, look at him now
G#        A*            G#           A*
arms wide open with the sea as he's flung
G#   A*    G#    A*
oh   how...oooooohhhh


Chorus:

    G7sus4       G7sus4     G  D          G7sus4     G7sus4  G   D
he is...    flyin......... oooohhh....high........whyyy.... oooohhhh.....


Part C: (equal than the part A)

he floated back down cause he wanted to share
					
this key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere

but first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed

by a faceless man, the fuckers
   
he still stands


Part D (equal than the part B)

and he still gives his love, he just gives it away
				  
the love he receives is the love that is saved

and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
				        
A HUMAN BEING THAT WAS GIVEN TO FLY


Chorus:
flying....ohhhh....high....flying.....ohhhh.....he 

is....flying.....ohhhh.....

	I don't see the Jesus here... I've always believed it's about a depressed man who only saw the beauty of life at the bitter end. I think this guy died saving some one, learning what life is really about, but died before he could share it with the world... But he comes back as an angel-like figure and tries to share the secret with the world, but no one will listen... Cause, well the earth is full of "fuckers"... Oh wait, that is Jesus after all...

	I think "Given To Fly" is about a man who feels either supressed or depressed. He is able to conquer whatever holds him down and frees himself from the chains that bound him. He is now able to fully live and appreciate life. Because of his good fortune the man feels an obligation to show others how to overcome obstacles in their lives. From here I think the story parallels that of Jesus. As he teaches others, he is betrayed by jealous skeptics too cowardly to even show their faces. He is stripped and stabbed just like Jesus but returns again to those that truely love and believe in him.

	@ Matzy I think you are right about the first part, but the the End doesn't wuite seem to fit. Eddie sings that he is A human being that was given to fly I just think that sharing the joy is his answer to the hardship he has to go through. It is almost a reaction of Spite. The more they will stab him in the back the more freeyl he will give away his love. It is his key to surviving and coping with life.

	To anyone who has read the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach this sounds very familliar. An enlightened individual who first rejects his knowledge, then trys to share it only to be shunned for it, but still teaches one person and so he has acomplished his goal in life. I have always loved this song.
