       A                              G6
Oh, my home is in the mountains, I am free, I am free.
     A                              G6
I am one with wind and eagles, I am free. 
      A                                  G6
Given wings to sail in gracefulness, the sky, the sky.
        A                                  G6              B7   E    A
Given a voice to sing in breathlessness, I find that I can fly, fly away.

I've been a long time on the highway, I've been a long time on the run.
                                         F
And it gets to be like chaos when I'm so long away from home.
        F7                                    C7
And sometimes it's just to much to bare and I hide behind my eyes.
                                       F
I can picture friendly faces and I can dream of friendly skies.


      G                                  D7
And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know.
                                     G
For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go.
                                   D7
I shall never be a prisoner, touch steel and glass and stone.
                                                     G
If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.


      D            G
Odeleeyeah-eee-ooo-ooo-oh. 
      D            G
Edeleeyeah-eee-ooo-oo.
      D            G
Odeleeyeah-eee-ooo-ooo, yeah. 
      D            G   E   A
Edeleeyeah-eee-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.

Oh, my home is in the mountains, I am free, I am free.
I am one with wind and eagles, I am free.
Given wings to sail in gracefulness, the sky, the sky.
Given a voice to sing in breathlessness, I find that I can fly, fly away.

                   D A                         D  A
In the hands of my father, in the light of the sunshine,
                   D A  E     D       A
On the wings of an eagle, I'm flying again.
    D       E         D       A
I'm flying again, I'm flying again, 
    D       E         D       A
I'm flying again, I'm flying again.
    D       E         D       A    D    E    D    A
I'm flying again, I'm flying again.
