Fly Graham Parker Lyrics

Pre>
Intro am  c (twice)

(c)	  am			c
As you look into an invisible landscape

Dm7				 c
And the waves of time part behind your back

G
As your life crumbles and turns into fiction

Dm7		 c
And the end of it becomes a fact

Am			  c
The ghosts of children will run in your garden

Dm7			c
And play with an imaginary ball

G
You will be released and pardoned

Dm7	   c
Now there’s nowhere left to fall

Dm7			   c  dm7	 c
Chorus  good bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Dm7			 (add g)  c	dm7  c
Now fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly


Am		   c
A steam rises out of the water

Dm7			c
And a mist hangs over the field

G
The tears of your wife and daughter

Dm7		    c
Have all but released their yield

Am		   c
The ghosts of lovers will walk toward you

Dm7		  c
And beckon you into their arms

G
And the mighty bells of chaos

Dm7 		  c
Will no longer sound their alarms

Chorus repeat (plus way way way way way)

Dm7		    g
Shake off your carcass leave us in the dark

C				 c
That’s us fumbling ’round like ants on the ground

Dm7		   g
In palaces and hovels reading mystery novels

C		   c
But we never get the plot maybe you got it now

Dm7			 g
Shake that mortal coil leave us to toil

C		    c
Take off that weight take off that weight

Dm7		   g
Listen to the silence know the end of violence

C		   c
Is a clean slate is a clean slate

Chorus repeat /pre>
