Sky Pilot (Animals)

		
Intro (acapella):  
 
He blesses the boys as they stand in line  
They smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine  
He's there to help them all that he can  
To make them feel wanted, he's a good holy man

Chorus:  
 
Bb Eb Bb  
Sky... pilot  
Bb Eb Bb  
Sky... pilot  
Cm Bb  
How high can you fly  
Cm Bb  
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky  
 
Verse 1:  
 
Cm Eb  
He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right  
Cm Eb  
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming flight  
Cm Eb  
Soon there'll be blood and many will die  
Cm F  
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry  
 
[repeat chorus]  
 
Verse 2:  
 
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile  
The order is given, they move down the line  
But he stay'll [sic] behind and he'll meditate  
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate  
 
Verse 3:  
 
And the young men move out into the battle zone  
He feels good, with God you're never alone  
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed  
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said  
 
[repeat chorus]

Verse 4:  
 
You're soldiers of God, you must understand  
The fate of your country is in your young hands  
May God give you strength, do your job real well  
If it all was worth it, only time it will tell  
 
Verse 5:  
 
In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes  
The stench of death drifts up to the skies  
A young soldier so ill looks at the Sky Pilot  
Remembers the words, "Thou shalt not kill"  
 
[repeat chorus, 2X]  
 
Coda [repeat to fade]:  
 
Cm Eb Bb  
You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
