Cathedral

C#m
B
Six o'clock in the morning, I feel pretty good
F#m
B/f#
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
F#m
B/f#
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
F#m
B/f#
With the people against the hordes
C#m
Who came to conquer
C#m
B
Seven o'clock in the morning, here it comes
F#m
I taste the warning and I am so amazed
B/f#
F#m
B/f#
I'm here today, seeing things so clear this way
F#m
B/f#
In the car and on my way
C#m
To Stonehenge
C#m
B
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
C#m
B
Sunlight pouring through the break of day
C#m
B
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber
F#m
B/f#
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered lace
F#m
B/f#
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on a face
F#m
B/f#
And a feeling deep inside of me tells me
B/f#
C#m
This can't be the place
C#m
B
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
C#m
B
All religion has to have its day
C#m
B
Expressions on the face of the Saviour
F#m
B/f#
Made me say
F#m
B/f#
I can't stay
C#m
B
Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here!
C#m
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
B
For anyone to heed the call
C#m
So many people have died in the name of Christ
B
That I can't believe it all
F#m
B/f#
And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
F#m
And the day he died it was a birthday
B/f#
And I noticed it was mine
F#m
And my head didn't know just who I was
B/f#
And I went spinning back in time
C#m
B
And I am high upon the altar
C#m
B
F#m
High upon the altar, high
B(vii)
B

C#m
B
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
C#m
B
It's hard enough to drink the wine
C#m
B
The air inside just hangs in delusion
F#m
B/f#
But given time
F#m
B/f#
I'll be fine
C#m
B
Open up the gates of the church and let me out of here!
C#m
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ

I can't see it anyway. Hey hey
There he was with his immigration face Giving me a paper chase, but the son was coming 'Cause all at once he looked into my space And stamped a number over my face and it sent me running Won't you let me in, immigration man Can I cross the line and pray? I can stay another day Won't you let me in, immigration man I won't toe your line today I can't see it anyway. Hey Hey Hey Here I am with my immigration form It's big enough to keep me warm when a cold wind's coming So go where you will, as long as you think you can You'd better watch out, watch out for the man anywhere you're going Come on and let me in, immigration man Can I cross the line and pray? Take your fingers from the tray Let me in, emigration man I won't toe your line today I can't see it anyway. Hey Hey Hey

Just a song before I go

When the shows were over
Am

We had to get back home
G

And when we opened up the door

I had to be alone
She helped me with my suitcase She stands before my eyes Driving me to the airport And to the friendly skies Going through security I held her for so long She finally looked at me in love And she was gone

Just a song before I go A lesson to be learned Travelling twice the speed of sound It's easy to get burned

Solitary sadness comes over me
And after the school was over And I moved to the other side I found another country But I never lost my pride Military madness was killing the country Solitary sadness creeps over me And after the wars are over And the body count is finally filed I hope that man discovers What's driving the people wild Military madness is killing the country So much sadness between you and me

I could be a rambler from the Seven Dials I don't pay taxes 'cause I never file And I don't do business that doesn't make me smile I love my aeroplane 'cause she got style
D
I'm a treetop flyer
I fly any cargo that you can pay to run The bush league pilots, they just can't get the job done You've got to fly down into the canyons, you don't ever see the sun There's no such thing as an easy run Oh, treetop flyer I fly low, I'm in high demand I go fifteen feet over the Rio Grande I blow the mesquite right up off of the sand Seldom seen, especially when I land I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor The people they ask me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?" It's over in Vietnam chasin' NVAs The government taught me, and they taught me right Stay down under the tree line and you might be alright Treetop flyer So I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast I promised my woman, this is gonna be my last I get the ship down, I tie her fast And then somebody walks up and says, "Hey son, wanna make some fast cash?" Treetop flyer Well there's things I am and there's things I'm not I am a smuggler and I could get shot I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna get caught You see, I'm a flyin' fool in an aeroplane, I'm just too hot I'm a treetop flyer, born survivor
