POINT ME AT THE SKY
Pink Floyd
(Waters, Gilmour)
Capo 1
[Verse 1]
CHey Jean, this is GHenry McLean 
An' I Ffinished my beautiful Dflying machine
An' I'm Cringing to say that I'm Gleaving an' maybe 
You'd Flike to fly with me and Dhide with me, baby
CIsn't it strange how Glittle we change 
FIsn't it sad we're inDsane
CPlaying the game that we Gknow ends in tears
The Fgame we've been playing for Dthousands and thousands and thousands
[Chorus 1]
F#Jumps into his cosmic flyer, Apulls his plastic collar higher
DLight the fuse and stand well back, he C#cried, this is my last goodbye
DPoint me at the sky and let it Gfly
DPoint me at the sky and let it Gfly
DPoint me at the sky and let it Gfly..D.
[Verse 2]
And Cif you survive till two Gthousand and five 
I Fhope you're exceedingly Dthin
For Cif you are stout you will Ghave to breathe out
While the Fpeople around you breathe Din, breathe in, breathe in
[Chorus 2]
F#People pressing on my sides is Asomething that I hate
And so is Dsitting down to eat with only C#little capsules on my plate
DPoint me at the sky and let it Gfly
DPoint me at the sky and let it Gfly
DPoint me at the sky and let it—
[Bridge]
G G/F# Em Em/D
C C/B D/A
[Outro]  
And Dall we've got to say to you is Ggoodbye!
