[Intro]
C G C G/B G/A G G/A Am Dm C Am F
[Verse]
N.C. C G
Sit down here in the alley where no one can see you cry
Am F
Trouble dogs us like a shadow though I cannot tell you why
C G
Life's a fine and fleeting moment, bittersweet and hard as stone
Am F
I can't change what fate has dealt you, but no one should walk alone
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Fly away la paloma, take my love where you go
C G Am
Where no one can harm you and there's nothing you need
F
We're not as far as we believe
[Verse]
C G
Somewhere a door is opening and another door is closed
Am F
The sunset wraps its shawl from here to Mexico
C G
There's a sound of wings around you like the rustle of a skirt
Am F
And it's gone before you know it, all those tender little birds
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Fly away la paloma, take my love where you go
C G Am C
Where no one can harm you and there's nothing you need
F
We're not as far as we believe
[Bridge]
Am
I dreamt that I was walking in an old familiar country
F Am
I thought I heard you singing, but I think I was just hungry
F Am
It's so many years behind me and there's really no escape
F G
No matter where we go, we still take our own landscape
[Instrumental]
C G Am F
C G Am F
[Verse]
C G
The full moon bows her head and she's putting on her veil
Am F
A whippoorwill is calling and the morning dove exhales
C G
Smell the night jasmine blooming, someone's turning down the sheets
Am F
Forever opens up her arms, as the rain washes the streets
