Empty Sky Chords & Lyrics by Elton John
Empty Sky
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: | E | E D/E | E | E D/E |
D A E
I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room.
D A E
Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon.
G A E
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love.
G F#m B
Make me wish that I had wings take me high above.
CHORUS:
Am7 G D A
And I looked high - and saw the empty sky.
Am7 G D A
If I could only, I could only fly.
G D/F# A/E A
I'd drift with them in endless space.
G D/F# E
But no man flies from this place.
D A E
At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars.
D A E
The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far.
G A E
If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above.
G F#m B
I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love.
{Repeat Chorus}
D A E
Hey - the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck.
D A E
Some luck I ever got with you and I - wouldn't like to bet -
G A E
that sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land.
G F#m B
By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man.
D D/A A E D A E
Just send up my love. Ain't seen nothing but tears.
D A E D A E
Now I've got myself - in this room for years.
D A E D A E
Don't see no one one, Never see anyone
D A E D A E
Yeah we're high, yeah
D A E
