D
I’m not a rat to be
A
spat on
E
locked up in this room.
D
Those bars that look tow
A
ards the sun at
E
night look towards the moon.
G
Everyday the
A
swallows play in the
E
clouds of love.
G
Make me wish that
F#m
I had wings take me
B
high
above.

And I looked h
G
igh
D
- and saw the empty
A
sky.

If I could

D
I could only
A
fly.

I’d drift with

pace.

But no man

flies from this p

At
D
night I lay u
A
pon my bench and
E
stare towards the stars.
The
D
cold night air comes
A
creeping in and
E
home seems oh so far.
If
G
only I could
A
swing upon those
E
twinkling dots above.
I’d
G
look down from the
F#m
heavens
u
B
pon the ones I love.

Hey – the lucky
A
locket hangs a
E
round your precious neck.
D
Some luck I ever
A
got with you and I
E
- wouldn’t like to bet –
G
that sooner or later you’ll
A
own just one
E
half of this land.
By
G
shining your
F#m
eyes on the
B
wealth of every man.

Just send
