Lonely Sky Tab

by Chris De Burgh



These are the approximate chords I worked out but I don't think that they're 
in the same key of the record. So there's lots of room for refinement.
Anyway, here my version :

*****************************************************************************
     Lonely Sky - Chris de Burgh  (from the album "Spanish Train" - 1975?)


 
That cold North wind they call La Bize
      
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


2nd verse :

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

Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long
And my love, she too has gone
She had to fly, out there

Chorus:
            
There's a couple other lines here during the fade out part but no new chords.
