Empty Sky chords by Elton John (Ver. 2)

Intro:  |  D/E  |

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

CHORUS:
A
And I looked high  -  and saw the empty sky.
A

If I could only,   I could only fly.
A
I'd drift with them in endless space.
E
But no man flies from this place.

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

{Repeat Chorus}

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

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

E
