As recorded by Elton John (1968 recording from the 2021 Album REGIMENTAL SGT. ZIPPO) [Intro] D C D C D C D C D [Verse 1]
D       N.C.
Look up in the sky
N.C. There's a speck that's flying by
Bm                          Em  A
Red lights and I don't know why

D                          G
Seems that I spend most of my time

A            Em        G A
Watching the planes go by
[Verse 2]
D                     G
The windows open, the curtains blow

Bm                      Em         A
Round my room where the lights are low

  D                     G
I stand in darkness and watch the stars

A                  Em      G        A
Wondering just how far you are from me
[Bridge]
D
I'm out here

A
You're somewhere

Am
Somewhere out there

    Em
Too far from me

C                G
And I want it to be

        F            C          G
Like it was when the summer was here

  F                     Bb
Instead of just sitting here

Eb                     F
Watching the planes go by
[Interlude] D C D C D C D C D [Verse 3]
D                    G
The street lamp look lonely

     Bm                  Em      A
I wonder, I wonder if it feels like me

     D
With no one to love him

    G
And no one to talk to

     A               Em
When she's out there moving

        G              A
Without thinking 'bout me
[Verse 4]
D                A
Come back, baby, come back

C      Am            Em
Let me pray that one day

C                        G
That those planes in the sky

        F            C            G
Will be bringing you back home to me

F
Back to me

Bb                  Eb        F
Oh, I feed you back home with me
[Outro] D C D C D C D C D C D C D C D C D
