Western Sky (alternative standard version)

E                           F#
Time for me to go away
E                                                    F#
I’ll get a new name, I’ll get a new face
E                            F#
Time for me to go away
E                                      F#
No I don’t belong in this place
C#m
But I’m not gonna ask you why
You think the parade has passed
D#m
you
E
by


C#m
Or if everything good is gone into the
D#m
Western
E
sky

E                                        F#
I hate to see you look that way
E                                         F#
All the beauty has left your face
E                                                  F#
That’s such an easy thing to give away
E                               F#
That’s impossible to replace

C#m
So I’ll take you in my two weak hands And I’ll throw
D#m    E
you so high
C#m
Just to watch you fall forever in the
D#m
western
E
sky


F#                                                                           E
And when you land you’ll turn into some kind of prize
F#                      E         F#
Into somebody’s sweet prize

E                            F#
I won’t see you no more
E                                 F#
Who am I to rate that high
E                                                        F#
The world’s a shadow of what went before

E                                                        F#
The world gives off none of its own light
C#m
So please be happy baby
                   D#m E
And please don’t cry
C#m                                     D#m        E
Even though the parade has passed us by
F#                                                                      E
Well you can still see it shining in the western sky
E                            F#
You can still see it shining
E                                   F#
So why won’t you stop crying
