[Intro]
Bm A Em G

[Verse]
Bm
We're walking in the air
                               A
We're floating in the moonlit sky
Em
The people down below
G                        Bm
Are sleeping as we fly
Bm
I'm holding on tight
                            A
I'm riding in the midnight blue
Em
I'm finding it hard to fly
G
So high above with you
D Bm G Em Bm

Bm
Far across the world
                          A
The villages go by like dreams
Em
Oh, the rivers and the hills
G                             Bm
The forests and the streams
F#             Bm
Children gaze open-mouthed
E          A
Taken by surprise
Am      D
Nobody down below
G               F#
Believes their eyes
Bm
We're surfing in the air
A
We're swimming in the frozen sky
Em
Oh, we're drifting over
    G
icy mountains floating by
Bm
We're walking in the air
A
We're floating in the midnight sky
Em.
Oh, and everyone who sees
     G
us greets us as we fly

How to play Walking In The Air: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Walking In The Air by McFly on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

To play Walking In The Air by McFly, think in B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). It takes 8 chords: Bm, A, Em, G, D, F#, E and Am.

Listen for Bm – A – Em – G (i – VII – iv – VI in B minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm and F# are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
