Kate Wolf - Pirates In The Wind
CAPO: 2nd Fret
EmThe pilot says we're Dcoming in, that the Clanding's just aEmhead
GBut I'm chasing my shadow, Dturning '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 wonderDland
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 EmfreeC  Em  
Take the turns a little Dsteeper, you Cdon't have to be aEmfraid
He Gpushed down on the rudder Das 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 aDgain 
And Ctake that steeper EmturnC  Em  
Pull back on the Dstick, she'll Clift so easiEmly
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 aDgain
BmOh, and I have seen the Emfar-off horizon
And the Dships sailing down beEmlow
GPlaying in the Dwind like me
With Ctreasures in their EmholdsC  Em  
We're over land the Dpilot said, Cyou can touch her Emdown
GLook for the lights ahead, Dlying 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 EmflyC  Em  
"What have you learned", the Dpilot asked, as we Ctaxied to a Emstall
GTaking the turns steeper, Ddoesn'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 EmfreeC  Em
