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