Chords for Sally's Pigeons

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