Intro: C-Em (x2)
C Em C
The sky was red, he stayed ahead
Em C
I saw him thread one step more
Em C
Gets out of bed, he fills with dread
Em F
His dreams are dead, money makes poor
G C Em
He's been mislead, life's flown overhead
C Em C Em C Em C
Overhead... Overhead... Ooo...
Em
There's a bird trapped in his head
C
But he ignores it instead
Em
And his spirit has long fled
C
And now he's hard to the core
Em C
She could have lead him to the rich sky
Em F
He wonders why she's not around anymore
G C Em
He's been mislead, life's flown overhead
C Em C Em C Em
Overhead... Overhead... Ooo...
C Em
He said I could lead you to the red sky
C
If you'd just stop asking why
Em
If you'd just stop asking why
C Em
If you'd just stop asking why
C Em
Why...
C Em
And I said I will reach deep down inside
C Em
And stay with you ahead and give you all my red
C
And put it in your head and in your heart
Em
And I will part and you will stay
C Em
But I'll still dream of one day
C Em
Might not be so far away
C Em C
Might not be so far away
Em C Em C
So far away... So far away... (Repeat at your own leisure till the end)
