Flying North

D   Em    C   D
Em  Bm    C

C#m
  Metal bird dip wing of fire
D
  Whose airlanes comb dark Earth
C#m
  The poles are tethers we were
   D      E
  Born in
C#m
  On the brink of a whole new deal
D
  On the floor of a Pan Am bar
C#m
  I'm staring right into the light
          D     C#m       Bm     C#m
  And I'm drawn in like a moth
      D C#m      Bm  G
  And I'm flying north again

C#m
  Here come the men in suits
D
  Papers waving in the runway glare
C#m
  Lincoln streaming in the chilly air of the
   D      E
  morning
C#m
  At the end of a double day
D
  At the back of an airport lounge
C#m
  I'm staring down into the cold
          D    C#m      Bm     C#m
  And I'm worn out like a cloth
      D C#m      Bm  G         D
  And I'm flying north again tonight

D   Em    C   D
Em  Bm    C

C#m
  Down with the landing gear
D
  Up goes the useless prayer
C#m
  The poles are tethers we were
   D   E
  born in
C#m
  Now I'm back in the London night
D
  On a bench in a launderette
C#m
  I'm staring right into my face
          D     C#m        Bm     C#m
  And I'm drawn out like a plot
      D C#m      Bm  G         D
  And I'm flying north again tonight
