Sally's Pigeons Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]When I was eight I had a friend
With a pirate [Em]smile[G]
Make believe and play pretend
We were innocent and wild
Hopped a fence and
slammed the gate
[Em]Running down [G]my alleyway
In [C]time [G]to [Am]watch [G]Sally's
pigeons [Am]fly[G]
[C]

[Verse 2]
We loved to [G]watch them dive and [C]soar[G]
[Em]Circle in [G]the sky
Free as a bird from three to four
[Am]And never knowing [D]why[Em]
Neighbors pulled their [G]wash back [Em]in
Put away my [G]Barbie and Ken
[C]Look out [Am]overhead
[F]While Sally's [Dm]pigeons fly
[F]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I had a fool's confi[C]dence
That [Dsus4]the world[G] had no bo[D]und[Em]aries
But instincts and [C]common [G]sense
Come in dif[D]ferent quantities
[G]

[Verse 4]
My heart began to skip to the beat
Of the [Am]boy n[G]ext door
She had her eye across the street
[Am]On someone shy and t[D]all
[Em]We lived our dreams
And [G]challenged fate
[Em]In tears she told me she w[G]as late
An[C]d Sally [Am]let his [F]pigeons [Dsus4]out to
[F]fly

[Interlude 1]
[F][Em][C][Dsus4][G][Em][C][G]

[Verse 5]
Mhm [D]Oh
[G]
On the dresser sits a frame
With [Em]a photograph[G]
Two little girls in ponytails
[Am]Some twenty one years [D]back
[Em]She left one night with [G]just a nod
[Em]Was lost from some back alle[G]y job
I [C]close [Am]my eyes an[F]d
Sally's pi[Dsus4]geons fly[F]
[Em]She never saw those bird[G]s again
[Em]And me, I can't rememb[G]er when
A [C]pirate [Am]smile [F]hasn't [Dsus4]made me c[F]ry
I [C]close [Am]my eyes
[F]And Sally's [Dm]pigeon[F]s f[G]ly

[Outro 1]
Mhm, mhm
[G]
