Lonely Sky chords by Chris De Burgh

Chris De Burgh - Lonely Sky


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        Dm       G
Trees are crying leaves into the river
  C
I'm huddled in this French cafe
  E7
I never thought I'd see the day
   Am        Dm       G
When winter's here and summer's nearly over

     F            G
Even the birds have packed up and gone
        C        F
They're flying south with this song
    C         F
And my love, she too has gone
      G
She had to fly, take care


CHORUS:
      C      Am
It's such a lonely sky
                   Dm        G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
                  C     Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
                 Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
  G             C      Am Dm G C
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky


  C
The old cathedral lights are low
E7
She and I, we'd often go there
Am      Dm         G
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer
C
Lords and ladies lying in stone
E7
Hand in hand from long ago
Am           Dm          G
Though their hands are cold, their love's forever


     F           G
Even the choir rehearses those songs
  C        F
For Christmas is not long
    C      F
And we may sing our song
      G
She had to fly, out there


CHORUS:  (# fade towards end #)
      C      Am
It's such a lonely sky
                   Dm        G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight
                  C     Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
                 Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high
  G             C      Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
                Dm
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love
  G             C      Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
            Dm
I'm coming in with the dawn____
  G             C      Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
          Dm
On the wings of the morn____
  G             C      Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
             Dm
Above the world we'll be flying____
  G             C      Am
