We were (D)fly ing out a cross the Great Di vide.

The (A)Bound for Dou ble U A he shook my hand and said “good day.”

(D)There I was, Slim Dus ty by my side.

I was fly ing with The King.

Rid ing on the wind.

A small town boy from no where,

my head up in the clouds.

All the times I heard him play.

And here I was to day.

I was fly ing, I was fly ing with the king.

Was (A)Trum by rid ing slow thir ty (F#m)thou sand feet be low?

(D)Way down there ’round a of gid gee coal.

The (A)des ert stretch ing on home to count less Dus ty songs.

He (D)was a man who walked a coun try mile.

I was fly ing with The King.

Rid ing on the wind.

A small town boy from no where,

my head up in the clouds.

All the times I heard him play.

And here I was to day.

I was fly ing, I was fly ing with the king.

Was

And be (D)fore I knew, the wheels touched down.

He smiled and said “I’ll see you ’round.” There was (D)so much more to say but he was gone.

And now he’s gone.

I was fly ing with the king.

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Flying With The King", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.

Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.

Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.

Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
