Lonely Sky Chris de Burgh
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: Cadd9 C Am Dm G Cadd9 C
[C]That cold North wind they call "La Bise"
[E7]Is swirling 'round about my knees
[Am]Tre[Dm]es [G]are crying leaves into the river
[C]I'm huddled in this French cafe
[E7]I never thought I'd see the day
[Am]Whe[Dm]n w[G]inter's here and summer's nearly over
[F]Ev[G]en the birds have packed up and gone
[C]Th[F]ey're flying south with this song
[C]An[F]d my love, she too has gone
[G]She had to fly, take care
CHORUS:
[C]It's such a lonely sky
[Am]The[Dm]y'l[G]l trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
[C]Th[Am]ey'll build a cage and steal your only sky
[Dm]Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
[G]I'[C]m [Am]sai[Dm]lin[G]g [C]beside you in your lonely sky
[C]The old cathedral lights are low
[E7]She and I, we'd often go there
[Am]To [Dm]adm[G]ire and sometimes kneel in prayer
[C]Lords and ladies lying in stone
[E7]Hand in hand from long ago
[Am]Tho[Dm]ugh[G] their hands are cold, their love's forever
[F]Ev[G]en the choir rehearses those songs
[C]Fo[F]r Christmas is not long
[C]An[F]d we may sing our song
[G]She had to fly, out there
CHORUS: (# fade towards end #)
[C]It's such a lonely sky
[Am]The[Dm]y'l[G]l trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
[C]Th[Am]ey'll build a cage and steal your only sky
[Dm]Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
[G]I'[C]m [Am]sailing beside you in your lonely sky
[Dm]Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
[G]I'[C]m [Am]sailing beside you in your lonely sky
[Dm]I'm coming in with the dawn____
[G]I'[C]m [Am]sailing beside you in your lonely sky
[Dm]On the wings of the morn____
[G]I'[C]m [Am]sailing beside you in your lonely sky
[Dm]Above the world we'll be flying____
[G]I'[C]m [Am]sailing beside you in your lonely sky
