Fly away - Corrinne May Guitar Chords

This is a sad sad song. Well it happened to be my best friend's favourite. Reminds her of her Mom. Anyway this is for you MF! 

F major, capo 1

F                 Am
"When will you be home?" she asks
      F                     Am
as we watch the planes take off
   F                 Am                 Dm
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
      F               Am
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
F                      Am
As a child, she was my world
    Am                           Dm
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
                    Am
and yet she says to me


        Dm
You can fly so high
          F
Keep your gaze upon the sky
        Am                          Dm
I'll be prayin every step along the way
     F                   Am                     Dm          Bb
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
Bb         Am                   Dm
I love you too much to make you stay
Dm             F
Baby fly away

F                  Am
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
F              Am
Silver-painted hair
  F               Am                 Dm
Daddy called one evening saying "We need you. Please come back"
       F              Am
When I saw her laying in her bed
F             Am
Fragile as a child
  Am                           Dm
Pale just like an angel taking flight
                Am
I held her as I cried


        Dm
You can fly so high
          F
Keep your gaze upon the sky
        Am                          Dm
I'll be prayin every step along the way
     F                   Am                     Dm          Bb
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
Bb         Am                   Dm
I love you too much to make you stay
Am             F
Baby fly away
Dm
ohh...

Bb         Am                   Dm
I love you too much to make you stay
Dm             F
Baby fly away
