*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Chris De Burgh - Lonely Sky
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: Cadd9 C Am Dm G Cadd9 C
C
That cold North wind they call "La Bise"
E7
Is swirling 'round about my knees
Am Dm G
Trees are crying leaves into the river
C
I'm huddled in this French cafe
E7
I never thought I'd see the day
Am Dm G
When winter's here and summer's nearly over
F G
Even the birds have packed up and gone
C F
They're flying south with this song
C F
And my love, she too has gone
G
She had to fly, take care
CHORUS:
C Am
It's such a lonely sky
Dm G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
C Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
G C Am Dm G C
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
C
The old cathedral lights are low
E7
She and I, we'd often go there
Am Dm G
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
C
Lords and ladies lying in stone
E7
Hand in hand from long ago
Am Dm G
Though their hands are cold, their love's forever
F G
Even the choir rehearses those songs
C F
For Christmas is not long
C F
And we may sing our song
G
She had to fly, out there
CHORUS: (# fade towards end #)
C Am
It's such a lonely sky
Dm G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
C Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
I'm coming in with the dawn____
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
On the wings of the morn____
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
Dm
Above the world we'll be flying____
G C Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
