Chorus:
C                                Dm
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
G                             E7                  Am
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spa-a-a-in
   G   F         G                 Am
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye

Verse 1:
C                                          Dm
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
G                                        E7                Am
And Daniel says it's the best place that he's e-e-e-ever-r seen
G      F         G                     Am
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
      F              G    F           C
Lord, I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much, oh


Chorus :
F                           C
Daniel, my brother, you are older than me
             F                    C
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal?
               Am                         F
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Ab              C            A7          Dm    G
Daniel, you're a star in the face of the sky
