Tom : C
C G F C F F G G
[Verse 1]
C Em F F
A boy flies for freedom
C Em F F
But dies for the peace
Dm Am G Am
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
Dm C G G
But there's no re - lease
C Em F F
It's strange here without you
Dm C G G
And it's so hard to see
[Refrão]
Am Em F C
So brother up in heaven
Dm F C C
Please wait up for me
[Repetition]
Am Em F C
Oh, brother up in heaven
Dm F C F F G G
Please wait up for me
[Verse 2]
C Em F F
I still see his shadow
C Em F F
His laugh lingers on
Dm Am G Am
When I dream, we're all back toge-ther
Dm C G G
When I wake, he's gone
C Em F F
It's strange here without you
Dm Em G G
This was not meant to be
Am Em F C
So brother up in heaven
Dm F C C
Please wait up for me
[Interlude]
Am F
And though we try to change the world
C F Dm Dm
A flower when it's cut will surely die
Am F
So why do men with so much hate
Am F
Destroy what they cannot create
Dm Em G G
While we all stand by
[Intrumental]
C Em F C Em F Dm Am G Am Dm Em G
[Verse 3]
C Em F F
We look back in anger
Dm Am G G
But you helped us to see
[Refrão] (repetir)
