Hey, this is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure it's completely correct. If you see
something wrong with it, just let me know. Enjoy! -Tommy Gun
Song: On the Wing
Artist: Owl City
Album: Ocean Eyes
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 3
G (strum once) D (strum once) Am (strum once)
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
Cadd9 (strum once) G (strum once)
And we'll stir the stars around
D (strum once) Am (strum once)
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
Cadd9 (once) D (once) G (begin to strum normally)
And plummet out of sight and sound
The open summer [D]breeze will sweep you [Am]through the hills
Where [Cadd9]I live in the alpine [G]heights
Below the Northern [D]Lights, I spend my [Am]coldest nights
[Cadd9]Alone, awake and [D]thinking [Em]of...the weekend [Cadd9]we were in [G]love
G, Cadd9, Em, G (Repeat x4)
[G]Home among these mountain [D]tops can be so [Am]awfully dull
A [Cadd9]thousand miles from the [G]tide
But photos on the [D]walls of New York [Am]shopping malls
Dis[Cadd9]tract me so I stay in[G]side
I wish the rockets [D]stayed over the [Am]promenade
Cuz [Cadd9]I would make a hook and [G]eye
And fish them from the [D]sky, my darling, [Am]she and I\
We're [Cadd9]hanging on so take us [G]high
To sing the world goodbye
[Cadd]I am [G]floating [D]away
[Cadd9]Lost in a [G]silent [D]ballet
[Cadd9]I'm dreaming you're [G]out in the [D]blue and I am [Em]right beside you
[Cadd9]Awake to [G]take in the [D]view
[Cadd9]Late nights and [G]early [D]parades
Still [Cadd9]photos and [G]noisy [D]arcades
My [Cadd9]darling, we're [G]both on the [D]wing, look down and [Em]keep on singing
[Cadd9]And we can [G]go any[D]where
D (strum once)
Are you there?
G(strum once)
Are you there
Or [Em]are you just a [D]decoy [Am]dream in [G]my [D]head?
[Cadd9]Am I h[D]ome or [Em]am I [G]simply [Cadd9]tumbling [G]all [D]alone?
Am, G, D, Cadd9, G, D (listen to song to get tempo and strumming pattern right...I
think it repeats 4 times)
[Cadd]I am [G]floating [D]away
[Cadd9]Lost in a [G]silent [D]ballet
[Cadd9]I'm dreaming you're [G]out in the [D]blue and I am [Em]right beside you
[Cadd9]Awake to [G]take in the [D]view
[Cadd9]Late nights and [G]early [D]parades
Still [Cadd9]photos and [G]noisy [D]arcades
My [Cadd9]darling, we're [G]both on the [D]wing, look down and [Em]keep on singing
[Cadd9]And we can [G]go any[D]where
Are you [G]there?
In the actual song, there is another solo (G, Cadd9, Em, G) at the end, but I
think it sound better on guitar to just end on G. Well, hope this helps! :)
