*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS***** INTRO: Cadd9 C Am Dm G Cadd9 C
     C 
That cold North wind they call "La Bise"

   E7 
Is swirling 'round about my knees

Am               Dm              G
Trees are crying leaves into the river

    C 
I'm huddled in this French cafe

   E7 
I never thought I'd see the day

     Am                Dm              G
When winter's here and summer's nearly over

         F                        G
Even the birds have packed up and gone

               C               F
They're flying south with this song

       C                 F      
And my love, she too has gone

           G
She had to fly, take care
CHORUS:
            C           Am
It's such a lonely sky

                                      Dm               G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight

                                    C         Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky

                                  Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high

    G                          C            Am  Dm  G  C
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

    C 
The old cathedral lights are low

E7 
She and I, we'd often go there

Am            Dm                 G
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer

C 
Lords and ladies lie in stone

E7 
Hand in hand from long ago

Am                     Dm                    G
Though their hands are cold, they'll love forever

         F                     G
Even the choir rehearses those songs

    C                F
For Christmas is not long

     C              F      
And alone I sing my song

           G
She had to fly, out there
CHORUS: (# fade towards end #)
            C           Am
It's such a lonely sky

                                      Dm                G
They'll trap your wings, my love, and hold your flight

                                    C         Am
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky

                                  Dm
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high

    G                          C           Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

                                Dm
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love

    G                          C           Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

                        Dm
I'm coming in with the dawn____

    G                          C           Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

                    Dm
On the wings of the morn____

    G                          C           Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky

                         Dm
Above the world we'll be flying____

    G                          C           Am
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky
