Empty Sky chords by Elton John

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Intro: | D/ED/E |

E MajorE
I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room.
E MajorE
Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon.
E MajorE
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love.
BB
Make me wish that I had wings take me high above.

CHORUS:
A augmentedA
And I looked high - and saw the empty sky.
A augmentedA
If I could only,  I could only fly.
A augmentedA
I'd drift with them in endless space.
E MajorE
But no man flies from this place.

  E MajorE
At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars.
  E MajorE
The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far.
  E MajorE
If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above.
  BB
I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love.

{Repeat Chorus}

E MajorE
Hey - the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck.
E MajorE
Some luck I ever got with you and I - wouldn't like to bet -
E MajorE
that sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land.
  BB
By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man.

E MajorE
  Just send up my love.   Ain't seen nothing but tears.
E MajorE
  Now I've got myself  -  in this room for years.
E MajorE
  Don't see no one one, Never see anyone
E MajorE
  Yeah we're high, yeah

E MajorE
