Kate Wolf - Pirates in the wind

^EmThe pilot says we're ^Dcoming in, that the ^Clanding's just a^Emhead ^GBut I'm chasing my shadow,^D turning 'round instead The ^Emplane's climbing over the ^Dwater, like a ^Emseagull leaving dry ^Dland ^GPlaying in the ^Dnight sky like a ^Cchild in a wonder^Dland

^BmOh, if you could see the ^Emfar-off horizon Where the ^Dmountains run down to the ^Emsea And the ^Gwater's shining like ^Djewels For ^Cpirates whose treasures are ^Emfree ^{C Em}

Take the turns a little ^Dsteeper, you ^Cdon't have to be a^Emfraid He ^Gpushed down on the rudder^D as he took his hands away And ^Emnow we're climbing in the ^Dnight, between the ^Emmountains and the ^Dsea And I ^Gfeel just like a ^Dbird in flight, ^Chappy to be ^Dfree

^BmAnd in the dark my ^Emsenses are on fire ^DOh, how I feel my smile ^Emburn And I ^Gwant to climb a^Dgain And ^Ctake that steeper ^Emturn ^{C Em}

Pull back on the ^Dstick, she'll ^Clift so easi^Emly ^GBear down a little harder, ^Dturn her out to sea And this ^Empilot's dressed in ^Dleather, with ^Emseal fur to his ^Dchin And he's ^Gsmiling at me ^Dknowingly, as I ^Ctake that turn a^Dgain

^BmOh, and I have seen the ^Emfar-off horizon And the ^Dships sailing down be^Emlow ^GPlaying in the ^Dwind like me With ^Ctreasures in their ^Emholds ^{C Em}

We're over land the ^Dpilot said, ^Cyou can touch her ^Emdown ^GLook for the lights ahead,^D lying straight along the ground But ^Emfirst you must cross ^Dover, ^Emcheck that the runway's ^Dclear ^GTake her up and ^Dcircle 'round, if it's not ^Cright to land her ^Dhere

^BmOh, look ahead to the ^Emfar-off horizon The ^Dsun still lights the evening ^Emsky Though the ^Gmountains have grown ^Ddarker now We've ^Ctime enough to ^Emfly ^{C Em}

"What have you learned", the ^Dpilot asked, as we ^Ctaxied to a ^Emstall ^GTaking the turns steeper,^D doesn't mean you'll fall 'Cause the ^Emplane will hold herself ^Dlevel, ^Emconstant as she ^Dspins And she ^Gholds a special ^Dplace inside for ^Cpirates in the ^Dwind

^BmOh, if you could see the ^Emfar-off horizon Where the ^Dmountains run down to the ^Emsea And the ^Gwater's shining like ^Djewels For ^Cpirates whose treasures are ^Emfree ^{C Em}
