It's easy to play the song in C-major. Perhaps you have to transpose it or
use a capo if you want to play with the original recording.

Intro:  C F C F
       C                      F
We're sitting out here on the runway,
C                        F
Waiting for the plane to leave,
        C                            F
And the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay,
              G
Bear with me please,"


     C                 F   
They gave us the usual hassle,
     C                           F
"You can't take those guitars on board,"
        a           e         F
But the boys in the band just smiled,
         G
Heard it all before,


               a                 F   
And as they're starting to serve Champagne
        e                         F
To the folks at the front of the plane,
      C         Bb     F                     G
I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,

Chorus:
           a   G  F   
And we are flying home,
           a       G     F
I feel the freedom in my soul,
a   G  F         C   G
Flying home at last;
a  G   F
Flying home,
             a       G     F
I've got the freedom in my soul,
         e
And it's four in the morning,
e
My world is calling,
G                    d    F      C        F   C   F 
Speeding through the universe tonight...
   

    C                   F
The movie reminds of my lady,
    C                          F
As she waits, "where are those guys?"
         C               G          F               G
Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,
   
            a                    F
And now the sun is beginning to rise,
            e                 F
It's like looking down on Paradise,
           a       Bb          F                G
There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,

Chorus:

           a  G   F   
And we are flying home,
           a       G     F
I feel the freedom in my soul,
a  G   F       C  G
Flying home at last;
a  G   F
Flying home,
             a       G     F
I've got the freedom in my soul,
         e  
And it's four in the morning,
e
My world is calling,
G                    d    F    C    F   C
Speeding through the universe tonight...

Fade out on chords of first to stanzas (sax solo)

I'm not quite sure about the chord Bb it might be something different :-)
