Em                            G                            Am 
 	When I stand before you shining in the early morning sun 
                      C                              Em 
When I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've done 
                    G                               Am 
Oh the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye 
                            C 
As the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time 

Dm                        Em 
 	Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes 
Dm                           Em 
No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls 
      Dm                            Em 
e will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth 
         Dm                        C  ( Am B C B A G F#m D Em ) 
A thousand leagues away, our land of birth 

Em 
To Albion's land 


     G           C              Em 
Coming home when I see the runway lights 
     C              Em              D ( Am B C ) 
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast 
    Em          G           C            Em 
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align 
         C                 Em                 D C 
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay 


Em                               G                            Am 
Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the void 
                   C                                  Em 
Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again 
                          G                               Am 
Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span 
                       C 
Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand 

Dm                        Em 
Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes 
 Dm                           Em 
No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls 
      Dm                            Em 
We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth 
         Dm                        C  ( Am B C B A G F#m D Em ) 
A thousand leagues away, our land of birth 

Em

    G           C              Em
