Sky Pilot Chords by Eric Burdon & The Animals

He blesses the boys as they stand in line
_ _ The smell of gun grease [B] and their bayonets [Bb] they shine _
[E] He's there to help them all that he [Bb] can
To [Ab] make them feel wanted he's a good [F] holy man

_ _ [Bb] _ _ Sky, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

high, [Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] you never _ [C] _ _ _ reach [Bb] the sky
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] He cries that the young soldiers, [Eb] tells them it's alright
[Cm] He knows of their fear in [Eb] the forthcoming fight
[Cm] Soon there'll be blood [Eb] and many will die
[Cm] Mothers and fathers [F] back home they will cry _ _
[C] _ _ [Bb] Sky, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ sky, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ high, [Bb] can you fly?
_ _ [C] You'll never _ _ _ reach [Bb] the sky _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] He mumbles a prayer [Eb] and it ends with a smile
[Cm] The order is given, [Eb] they move down the line
[Cm] But he's stale behind [Eb] and he'll meditate
[Cm] But it won't stop the bleeding [F] or ease the hate
As [Eb] _ _
[Cm] the young men move [Eb] out into the battle zone
[Cm] He feels good, with [Eb] God you're never alone
[Cm] He feels so tired and [Eb] he lays on his bed
[Cm] Hope the men will find courage [F] in the words that he says

_ _ _ _ _ _ You're [Cm] soldiers of God, you must understand
[Cm] The fate of your country [Eb] is in your young hands
[Cm] May God give you strength, do your [Eb] job real well
If it all was worth it, only [F] time it will tell
In _ _ [Cm] the morning they return [Eb] with tears in their eyes
[Cm] The stench of death [Eb] drifts up to the skies
