The Sky Road   - Frances Black / Jimmy McCarthy
From the Cd The Best of Francis Black

Danny's made his mind up   He's leaving for America
G                           C
He's leaving for America   Leaving all of us behind
 G                                               D

He says there's nothing here not drenched in beer   In blood and retribution
And the wealth distribution's     Been weighing heavy on his mind

And he knows that he'll regret the leaving      Knows that he will pine for grieving
         Em                                      Em(7b)
For the Sky road by the singing sea            And all of us behind
        C                 G                                    D

Danny looks so lovely            Working in the fields
Or dancing like a wild one       Sparks flying round his heels
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/frank_black/the_sky_road_crd.html ]
But his friends are all gone before him      From the sacred ground that bore them
Now they wonder does she scorn them       For giving up the land

And they know that they'll regret the leaving      Know that they will pine for grieving
For the Sky road by the singing sea          And all of us behind


And I wonder does he know I love him      All below and none above him
As I sit here by the singing sea            Alone and left behind

Solo

Danny's made his mind up           He's leaving for America
He's leaving for America             Leaving all of us behind

And I wonder does he know I love him       All below and none above him
As I sit here by the singing sea         Alone and left behind

And I wonder does he know I love him      All below and none above him
As I sit here by the singing sea          Alone and left behind

Danny's made his mind up           He's leaving for America
He's leaving for America             Leaving all of us behind
