*Cyndi sings the 1st verse a cappella in the original song.
[Verse 1]
G When I was eight I had a friend Em With a pirate smile G Make believe and play pretend Am D We were innocent and wild Em G Hopped a fence and slammed the gate Em G Running down my alleyway C Am F In time to watch Sally's pigeons fly
[Verse 2]
G We loved to watch them dive and soar Em Circle in the sky G Free as a bird from three to four Am D And never knowing why Em G Neighbors pulled their wash back in Em G Put away my Barbie and Ken C Am F Look out overhead While Sally's pigeons fly
[Bridge]
Em C I had a fool's confidence G Em That the world had no boundaries Em C But instincts and common sense G D They come in different quantities
[Verse 3]
G My heart began to skip to the beat Em Of the boy next door G She had her eye across the street Am D On someone shy and tall Em G We lived our dreams and challenged fate Em G In tears, she told me she was late C Am F And Sally let his pigeons out to fly
Em C G Em
Em C G D
[Verse 4]
G On the dresser sits a frame Em With a photograph G Two little girls in ponytails Am D Some twenty-one years back Em G She left one night with just a nod Em G Was lost from some back alley job C Am F I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly Em G She never saw those birds again Em G And me, I can't remember when C Am F A pirate smile hasn't made me cry C Am Fm I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly
