Capo 6
INTRO: C G Am C Am Em G
(G) C
Cicadas and gulls
G
They scrape on the hull
C
The land and the sea
G
They're distant from me
Am C
I'm in the sky, sky, sky
Am Em G
I'm in the sky
(G) C
Thoughts are like pearls
G
And flags are unfurled
C
When we're in the dark
G
I'll ride you like the ark
Am C
Because you're mine, mine, mine
Am Em G
Because you're mine
SOLO: C G Am C Am Em G
Maps can be poems
When you're on your own
And distance is braille
And all that entails
Am C
I'm in the sky, sky, sky
Am C
I'm in the sky
Am Em G
I'm in the sky
Empty as a page
As high as a stage
As full as a room
When we're in the spoon
