Kate Wolf – Pirates In The Wind (Guitar)

Em                   D                   C               Em
The pilot says we're coming in, that the landing's just ahead

G                         D
But I'm chasing my shadow, turning 'round instead

    Em                        D             Em                  D
The plane's climbing over the water, like a seagull leaving dry land

G              D                C                D
Playing in the night sky like a child in a wonderland

Bm                       Em 
Oh, if you could see the far-off horizon

          D                         Em 
Where the mountains run down to the sea

        G                    D
And the water's shining like jewels

    C                           Em    C  Em 
For pirates whose treasures are free

                        D            C                 Em
Take the turns a little steeper, you don't have to be afraid

   G                        D
He pushed down on the rudder as he took his hands away

    Em                        D                  Em                D
And now we're climbing in the night, between the mountains and the sea

      G                D               C           D
And I feel just like a bird in flight, happy to be free

Bm                 Em 
And in the dark my senses are on fire

D                       Em 
Oh, how I feel my smile burn

      G              D
And I want to climb again 

    C                 Em    C  Em 
And take that steeper turn

                 D             C           Em
Pull back on the stick, she'll lift so easily

G                          D
Bear down a little harder, turn her out to sea

         Em                 D             Em              D
And this pilot's dressed in leather, with seal fur to his chin

         G             D               C               D
And he's smiling at me knowingly, as I take that turn again

Bm                      Em 
Oh, and I have seen the far-off horizon

        D                    Em 
And the ships sailing down below

G              D
Playing in the wind like me

     C                  Em    C  Em 
With treasures in their holds

                    D           C                 Em
We're over land the pilot said, you can touch her down

G                         D
Look for the lights ahead, lying straight along the ground

    Em                   D     Em                      D
But first you must cross over, check that the runway's clear

G               D                          C                 D
Take her up and circle 'round, if it's not right to land her here

Bm                    Em 
Oh, look ahead to the far-off horizon

    D                            Em 
The sun still lights the evening sky

           G                    D
Though the mountains have grown darker now

      C              Em   C  Em 
We've time enough to fly

                             D                  C           Em
"What have you learned", the pilot asked, as we taxied to a stall

G                        D
Taking the turns steeper, doesn't mean you'll fall

           Em                      D      Em              D
'Cause the plane will hold herself level, constant as she spins

        G               D                C              D
And she holds a special place inside for pirates in the wind

Bm                       Em 
Oh, if you could see the far-off horizon

          D                         Em 
Where the mountains run down to the sea

        G                    D
And the water's shining like jewels

    C                           Em    C  Em 
For pirates whose treasures are free
