FLY Graham Parker

Intro Am C (twice)

(C) Am C

As you look into an invisible landscape

Dm7 C

and the waves of time part behind your back

G

As your life crumbles and turns into fiction

Dm7 C

and the end of it becomes a fact

Am C

The ghosts of children will run in your garden

Dm7 C

and play with an imaginary ball

G

You will be released and pardoned

Dm7 C

Now there's nowhere left to fall

Dm7 C Dm7 C

CHORUS Good bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Dm7 (add G) C Dm7 C

Now fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly

Am C

A steam rises out of the water

Dm7 C

and a mist hangs over the field

G

The tears of your wife and daughter

Dm7 C

have all but released their yield

Am C

The ghosts of lovers will walk toward you

Dm7 C

and beckon you into their arms

G

and the mighty bells of chaos

Dm7 C

will no longer sound their alarms

CHORUS repeat (plus way way way way way)

Dm7 G

Shake off your carcass leave us in the dark

C C

That's us fumbling 'round like ants on the ground

Dm7 G

in palaces and hovels reading mystery novels

C C

But we never get the plot Maybe you got it now

Dm7 G

Shake that mortal coil leave us to toil

C C

take off that weight take off that weight

Dm7 G

Listen to the silence know the end of violence

C C

is a clean slate Is a clean slate

CHORUS repeat
