( G ) C
cicadas and gulls
G
they scrape on the hull
C
the land and the sea
G
they’re distant from me

Am C
i’m in the sky , sky , sky
Am Em G
i’m in the sky

( G ) C
thoughts are like pearls
G
and flags are unfurled
C
when we’re in the dark
G
i’ll ride you like the ark

Am C
because you’re mine , mine , mine
Am Em G
because you’re mine

and all that entails

Am C
i’m in the sky , sky , sky
Am C
i’m in the sky
Am Em G
i’m in the sky

as high as a stage
as full as a room
