View chords used in this chart
Intro: Em - G - A - A
Em C
On wednesday the seventh your flight departed,
A
you waved us goodbye - we stood on the ground
Em C
as one journey ended another one started -
A
you passed overhead (your wings made no sound).
C
This world's just a rock - mow a little bit lighter,
Em
for me there's a void where your smile once shone.
C
A new star is born far bigger and brighter
D
than all of the others - that's where you have gone.
Zwischenspiel: Em - G - A - A
Em C
Over the stormclouds you float high above me,
A
knelt in the dojo we offered a prayer.
Em C
Yassi was smiling - you saw how she loves me,
A
I'm sure you look forward to meeting her there.
C
One with the light that was sent here to guide you,
Em
forgotten the cripple asleep in her chair.
C
You dance hand in hand - Bernard standing beside you,
D
you're Ginger Rogers and he's Fred Astaire.
