verse 1: 
A           E 
Why do you dream 
    D           A 
of pearly white gates 
A           E 
high in the air 
      D         A 
where no bird flies 
A        E 
no tree grows 
   D        A 
beyond the sky

Our blue sky.

that worms and dogs 
A           E 
hills and clouds 
     D       A 
are not like you? 
A       E 
Burning light

that never dies, 
F#m  E             A 
Our blue spinning sky. 

 
D 
Why do you leave 
   A 
a trail of death

air turns brown

trees fall down

burn green fields

and drive on by 
F#m   E   A 
Our blue sky

A               E 
Could you love god 
       D           A 
if he didn't love you 
A           E 
more than rivers 
  D        A 
snakes or wind 
A                 E 
could you share heaven 
       D            A 
with black buzzing flies 
F#m   E            A 
Our blue spinning sky

What if this dream 
      D         A 
you dream with pigs 
A               E 
you dream with dirt 
     D       A 
and this is home 
A         E 
is it so wrong 
    D           A 
to love this light 
F#m  E    A 
our blue sky
