Chords
From the magnificent 2012 Ashes and Roses album.
Mary uses a capo to play the chords at the 8th fret.
This is tabbed for novice players to play the same chords in the open position.
[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
F From 20,000 feet high, I saw the lights below me Bb F Twinkling just like Christmas, We descended slowly F And the curve of the world passed, with all of that flying Bb F above the mighty ocean, and now we all are arriving F Grab the carry on baggage, join the herd for the mad run Bb F take place in the long line, where does everyone come from F As we shuffle on forward, as we wait for inspection Bb F Dont be holding that line up, at the end lies redemption F Bb oh oh oh, hey hey hey, ah ah ah
[Verse]
F Now I'm stamped and I'm waved through, I take up my position Bb F at the mouth of the cannon, saying prayers of contrition F Please deliver my suitcase, from all mischief and peril Bb F now the sight of it circling, is a hymn to the faithful F Forgive my staring, for my unconcealed envy Bb F in the hall of arrivals, where the great river empties F Its hand carts and porters, all the people it carries Bb F to be greeted with flowers, grandfathers and babies F Bb F oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh
[Instrumental]
F C Bb x4
[Verse 3]
F There is no one to meet me, yet I'm all but surrounded Bb F by the tears and embracing, by the joy unbounded F The friends and relations, Leaping over hemispheres Bb F Transcendental Reunion, all borders vanish here F We are travellers travelling, we are gypsies together Bb F we're philosophers gathering, we are business or pleasure F We are going or coming, we are just finding our way Bb F to the next destination and from night into day C Bb F oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh C Bb F oh oh oh, hey hey hey, oh oh oh
[Outro]
F In a giant bird's belly, I flew over the ocean Bb F from twenty thousand feet high, how those lights were glowing
