So there's lots of room for refinement. Anyway, here my version : ***************************************************************************** Lonely Sky - Chris de Burgh (from the album "Spanish Train" - 1975?) G That cold North wind they call La Bize Em Is swirling 'round about my knees C D Trees are crying leaves into the river G I'm huddled in this French cafe Em I never thought I'd see the day C D When winter's here and summer's nearly over C D Even the birds have packed up and gone G C They're flying south with this song G C And my love, she too has gone D She had to fly, take care Chorus : G It's such a lonely sky Em Am They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight D G They'll build a cage and steal your only sky Em Am Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high D D 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.
