This is my song, and not only that, but the first song I ve ever written. I m posting it
on Ultimate Guitar mostly for personal use. It s a little cumbersome to play it from my
notebook and turn the pages at the same time. You can try to play it, but I imagine it
would be difficult not knowing what it sounds like or what the vocal melody is. The strum
pattern is similar to Piano Man by Billy Joel. This song is my intellectual property, so
please don t attempt to make a recording of it and claim it as your own.

Intro:
1st Verse:
Well, the time has come
For me to move on
To leave the bird nest
And this crowd
But I thought, my dear,
That you would be near
And so far you re nowhere
To be found
Fill:
2nd Verse:
If it s only me,
A small bird in a tree,
Am I to learn to fly
All alone?
I need you my dove,
My one true love,
To help teach me how
To roam
Chorus:
When I look to the sky
I imagine what it s like
To fly over the rooftops
And trees
But I need you, my dear,
Like the Irish need beer,
So come with me, my love,
Won t you please?
3rd Verse:
Now, were it to be
I d fly out of this tree
I d have ne er met you
At all
But the die has been cast
And we ve met at last
For you and I were fated
To fall
Chorus:
When I look to the sky
I imagine what it s like
To fly over the rooftops
And trees
But I need you, my dear,
Like the Irish need beer,
So come with me, my love,
Won t you please?
Bridge:
(palm muting)
And for you, I swear,
I always will be here
Because now time s
Running out
(strumming)
No matter what it takes,
However many breaths I ll waste
I ll always be here
For you now...
Chorus:
When I look to the sky
I imagine what it s like
To fly over the rooftops
And trees
But I need you, my dear,
Like the Irish need beer,
So come with me, my love,
Won t you please?
Outro:
It doesn t matter what I m told
I know what hits the soul
And I can t get enough
Of your love
Don t keep me away
From your love
Because all that I need
Is your love
