Icarus II - Kansas
From the album Somewhere to Elsewhere
This is a basic version for the acoustic, it's a pretty complicated song and for the solo I improvised using
barre chords. Have fun with it!
[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am C G In the darkness I rise, long before the dawn F C Am G I was dreaming of home and the life I lived Am C G But now I hear the sound, of the engines roar F C Am G And I crave the embrace of my empty bed Am Where I'm safe (there I'm safe)
[Verse]
Am C G But the call is clear, and the task is set F C Am G And my enemies wait in the dark sky F C Do they fear the same fear, Am G Do they dream like us F C G Do they long for the day when it's over Am And they're safe
[Chorus]
C Am Now we’re cruising above the horizon Bb C Never knowing if we will return C Am In a moment we'll loose the destruction Bb G Am And we'll justify all that we burn
[Verse]
Am C G Here the air is cold, but my thoughts are clear F C Am G And so I'm wondering why I must be here Am C G For the evil that can come, From the heart of a man F C G Must be answered in kind 'til it disappears Am And we're safe
[Chorus]
C Am Now we're cruising above the horizon Bb C Never knowing if we will return C Am In a moment we'll rain down destruction Bb G Am And we'll justify all that we burn Am Here they come

F C Now we're hit, it's happened F G This is what I feared F C Something's telling me my time has come F C F Bb C Though it should be panic, I can feel a peace F C Strangely, now I know my purpose... N.C. F Bb C Hey boys! Hey, get out while you can Bb I'll try to take us home C F I'm going home...
