He _ says, I can't fly, but me pigeons _ can. _ _
And when I set them [Eb] free, _ it's just like part of me _ gets [Bb] _ _ lifted [F]
up on _ Shining [C] Way. _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Charlie Hudson's pigeon loft was down the _ yard.
In [Dm] a rented house in Brook Street, [D] _ [Eb] where life was hard. _
But _ [Bb] Charlie had a [Eb] dream, _ [Bb] and in _ _ 1913, _ _ Charlie bred a pigeon that [F] made his dreams come [Bb] true. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's gonna be a champion's race from here to there.
We got out the maps, all that land and sea.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] _ Charlie a loose [F] half _ bird, but [Eb] Charlie never heard.
_ _ _ He [Bb] put it in a basket and [F] sent it off to [Bb] roam.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Did the big race, a storm blew in.
_ A thousand birds were swept away, never [Eb] seen again. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Charlie we told you [F] _ so, _ _ [Gm] surely by now you [F] know.
_ When [Bb] you're living in the west end, [Eb] there ain't many [Fm] dreams come [Bb] true.
_ Yeah [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ I know, _ but I [Eb] have to _ try.
A [Eb] man can crawl _ around, or he can learn to fly. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And [Bb] if you live round here, the [Gm] ground seems awful [Ab] in the air.
_ _ _ [Bb] Sometimes I need a [F] lift to _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Bb] victory. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Off with me mates for a pint or two.
When I saw a wing flash up in the blue.
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ Charlie's the king [F] of Rome, _ [Bb] come back to his west end [Eb] home. _ _
[Bb] Come outside quick, [F] he's perched upon your [Bb] _ room. _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ Come [Bb] on _ down, your _ _ _ _ _ majesty. _ _ _
_ _ I knew you'd make it _ [Eb] back to me. _ _
Come [Bb] on _ down, you _ [Gm] lovely _ _ _ one.
_ _ _ You've [Bb] _
made my _ dreams come _ true. _ _ _ _ _ _
