Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][Bb][C][Am][G][Am][C][F]
Sit down [C]here in the alley
Where no [G]one can see you cry
Trouble dog[Am]s us like a shadow
Though I [F]cannot tell you why
Life's [C]a fine and fleeting moment,
bittersweet [G]and hard as stone
I can't [Am]change what fate has dealt you,
but no one [F]should walk alone
Fly [C]away,
La
Pa[G]loma, take [Am]my love when yo[F]u go.
Where [C]no one [G]can harm you,
and [Am]there's nothing you need.
We're not as far [F]as we believe
Somewhere [C]a door is opening
And an[G]other door is closed
The [Am]sunset wraps its shawl
From [F]here to
Mexico
There's a [C]sound of wings around you
Like the [G]rustle of a skirt
And it's [Am]gone before you know it
All those [F]tender little birds
Fly [C]away, my
Pa[G]loma
Take [Am]my love when you go[F]
Where [C]no one [G]can harm you
And there's [Am]nothing you need,
we're not as far [F]as we believe
I dreamt that I was walking
in an [Am]old familiar country
I [F]thought I heard you singing,
but I [Am]think I was just hungry
[C]It's so [F]many years behind me
and there's [Am]really no escape
No [F]matter where we go,
we still [G]take our own [C]landscapes[G][Am][F][C][G][Am]
[F]
The [C]full moon bows her head,
and she's [G]putting on her veil
A [Am]whippoorwill is calling,
and the morn[F]ing dove exhale
Smell the [C]night jasmine blooming,
someone's [G]turning down the sheets
Forever [Am]opens up her eyes as
the rain [F]washes the street
Fly [C]away, my
Pa[G]loma
Take [Am]my love when you go
[F]Where no [C]one can[G] harm you
And there's [Am]nothing you need
We're not as far [F]as we believe
Fly [C]away
La
Pa[G]loma
La
Pa[Am]loma

[Outro 1]
Fly away
