Chorus:
 F          C
Kestrels breathe
G                    E7     Am
Looking farther than I can see
Fmaj7
Without tact to read
C/E             G   E7  Am
She'll take a shine to me

F              Em   E7  F
Beacon, don't fly too high.
F              Em   E7 Am
Beacon, don't fly too high.

F            C
For all the time
  G      E7       Am
Playful crime in rain
 F              C
Worth it being cold?
A#      A#m      F
Roofing for the lanes
F      Em     Csus4 C
Lesson lost again.
F      Em E7  Am
Lesson lost again.

Cute but I'll take the bus
With fees and favours gone
Cracks in savers pass
And a white that sometimes shone
Wanton borrowed gun
Wanton borrowed gun

Chorus:
Kestrels breed
Looking farther than I can see
Without tact to read
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high
