EIGHT MILES HIGH    (intro) (midi)

 

    Dm - Em - F - Em   ~ ~

 

    Dm    Em     F     C                                    Bb

1. Eight miles high      and when you touch down,

F                                   C                           Bb

    you'll find that it's      stranger than known.

    Dm    Em         F     C                                      Bb

    Signs in the street       that say where you're going,

F                             C                          Bb        Dm - Em      Dm - Em

    are somewhere,     just being their own.

 

     Dm Em  F   C                             Bb

2. Nowhere is       there one to be found,

F                                 C                            Bb

    among those afraid of losing their ground.

      Dm    Em  F       C                        Bb

    Mean grey  town      known for its sound,

F                        C                      Bb             Dm - Em - F - Em ~ ~

    in places,      small places unbound.

 

    Dm   Em     F         C                    Bb

3. Now the  squares       of moving storms,

F                                C                                   Bb

    some laughing,      some just shapeless forms.

    Dm   Em    F       C                            Bb

    Sidewalk scenes      and black limousines,

F                      C                            Bb        Dm - Em - F - Em ~ ~

    some living,     some standing alone.
