C Em C The sky was red, he stayed ahead Em C I saw him thread one step more Em C Gets out of bed, he fills with dread Em F His dreams are dead, money makes poor Em C Em He's been mislead, life's flown overhead C Em Overhead... C Em Overhead... C Em Ohhhhh There's a bird trapped in his head but he ignores it instead And his spirit has long fled and now he is hard to the core She could have lead him to the rich sky Wonders why she's not around anymore He's been misled Life's flown overhead Overhead Overhead Ohhhhh He said I can lead you to the red sky If you just stop asking why If you just stop asking why If you just stop asking why Why And I said I will reach deep down inside And stare with you ahead and give you all my red And put it in your head and in your heart And I will part and you will stay But I will still dream of one day Might not be so far away Might not be so far away You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC Em F Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
