Chords for Cyndi Lauper - Sally's Pigeons (Official Video)

[B] When I was eight I had [D#] a friend with a pirate [F#] _
smile
_ _ Make believe and play pretend we were innocent and _ wild
_ [G#] Hopped a fence [D#m] and slammed the [F#] gate
[G#] Running down [D#m] my _ _ alleyway
And [C#m] time to watch Sally's [B] pigeons _ [C#] fly
_ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] Loved to watch [C#m] them dive [B] and soar
[G#m] Circle in the [B] sky _
Free as a bird from three to four
[C#m] And never knowing [F#] _
why
_ [G#m] _ Neighbors pulled [B] their watch back in
[G#m] _
Put away [B] my barbie can
[E] Looked out [C#m] overhead while Sally's pigeons [A] fly _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m]
I had a [E] fool's confidence [B] that the world _ [G#m]
boundaries _ were _
Instinct [E] and common sense [F#] like _ _ _ _ two bees
_ _ _ [B]
My heart began to skip to the beat of the boy next door
_ _ She had her eye across the street [C#m] on someone shy [F#] and tall
_ [G#m] We lived our dreams [B] and challenged [G#m] fate
In tears she told [B] me she was late
[E] And [C#m] Sally let his [E] pigeons _ _ fly
[C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ On the dresser sits a frame with [G#m] a photograph
[B] _ _
_ Two little girls in _ ponytails [C#m] some twenty-one years [F#] back
She [G#m]
left one night [B] with just a nod
[G#] Was lost from some [B] back alley job
[E] I'd close [C#m] my eyes [A] and Sally's pigeons [C#m]
fly
_ _ [G#m] She never saw [B] those birds again
[G#m]
And me I can't [B] remember when
[E] A pirate [C#m] smile [A]
hasn't [C#m] made me cry _
_ _ _ _ [E] I'd close [C#m] my [A] eyes and Sally's pigeons _ fly _ _
