 D          D/C#         G/B
Geese come rushing on a river of wind,

G/B      D     A     Em/D  Em7  D
in the bright sky, bright sky,

 D          D/C#         G/B
wild music ripples like wake behind,

G/B      D     A    Em/D  Em7 D
in the bright sky, bright sky.
[Verse]
D              D/C#             G/B
Go higher, go higher where the wind is all,

G/B      D     A    Em/D  Em7  D
in the bright sky, bright sky,

  D        D/C#        G/B
where the bullets get tired and fall,

G/B      D     A    Em/D  Em7  D
in the bright sky, bright sky.
[Verse]
  D              D/C#          G/B
They fly out of vision taking part of my soul,

G/B      D     A    Em/D   Em7
in the bright sky, bright sky,

 D             D/C#          G/B
well, maybe together we can touch down whole,

G/B      D     A    Em/D   Em7
in the bright sky, bright sky.
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D [Verse]
   D             D/C#           G/B
I never saw the colours in the Northern dark,

G/B      D     A   Em/D  Em7
in the bright sky bright sky,

 D                        D/C#                 G/B
but there were all those people floating like Noah's ark,

         D     A    Em/D   Em7
in the bright sky, bright sky.
[Verse]
    D            D/C#      G/B
And we all rush away on a river of wind,

G/B      D     A    Em/D   Em7
in the bright sky, bright sky,

    D     D/C#          G/B
and if I live, I'll be coming back again,

G/B     Em/D   Em7 D
in the bright sky.
