Chris De Burgh - Lonely Sky


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC A minorAm DmDm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC

   C majorC
That cold North wind they call "La Bise"
  E7E7
Is swirling 'round about my knees
A minorAm        DmDm       G+G
Trees are crying leaves into the river
  C majorC
I'm huddled in this French cafe
  E7E7
I never thought I'd see the day
   A minorAm        DmDm       G+G
When winter's here and summer's nearly over

     FF            G+G
Even the birds have packed up and gone
        C majorC        FF
They're flying south with this song
    C majorC         FF
And my love, she too has gone
      G+G
She had to fly, take care


CHORUS:
      C majorC      A minorAm
It's such a lonely sky
                   DmDm        G+G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
                  C majorC     A minorAm
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
                 DmDm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
  G+G             C majorC      A minorAm DmDm G+G C majorC
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky


  C majorC
The old cathedral lights are low
E7E7
She and I, we'd often go there
A minorAm      DmDm         G+G
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
C majorC
Lords and ladies lying in stone
E7E7
Hand in hand from long ago
A minorAm           DmDm          G+G
Though their hands are cold, their love's forever

     FF           G+G
Even the choir rehearses those songs
  C majorC        FF
For Christmas is not long
    C majorC      FF
And we may sing our song
      G+G
She had to fly, out there


CHORUS:  (# fade towards end #)
      C majorC      A minorAm
It's such a lonely sky
                   DmDm        G+G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
                  C majorC     A minorAm
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
                 DmDm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
  G+G             C majorC      A minorAm
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
                DmDm
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
  G+G             C majorC      A minorAm
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
            DmDm
I'm coming in with the dawn____
  G+G             C majorC      A minorAm
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
          DmDm
On the wings of the morn____
  G+G             C majorC      A minorAm
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
             DmDm
Above the world we'll be flying____
  G+G             C majorC      A minorAm
