Em                              G                            Am
 	When I stand before you shining in the early morning sun
                                 C                              Em
        When I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've done
                              G                               Am
        Oh the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye
                                       C
        As the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time

D                           Em
 	Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes
             D                                  Em
        No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls
                  D                             Em
        We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth
                     D                         C  ( Am B C B A G F#m D Em )
        A thousand leagues away, our land of birth

Em
        To Albion's land

Refrão:
            G           C              Em
     Coming home when I see the runway lights
             C              Em              D ( Am B C )
     In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
             Em          G           C            Em
     Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
                C                 Em                 D C
     Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay

Em                            G                            Am
    Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the void
                         C                                  Em
    Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again
                                 G                               Am
    Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span
                              C
    Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand

D                           Em
 	Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes
             D                                  Em
        No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls
                 D                             Em
        We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth
                     D                         C  ( Am B C B A G F#m D Em )
        A thousand leagues away, our land of birth

Em
     To Albion's land

             Em          G           C            Em
