When The Swallows Fly

Bee Gees


Tom: G

G C G C

[VERSE 1]
G
I wander lonely as a cloud
D
I keep my head above the crowd
Am                          G
Ain't nobody else as big as me

But I must remember friends
D
What has to start just has to end
Am                     G
Everybody's got a destiny

[CHORUS]
                            C
And I know when the swallow flies
      G                        C
Yes I know, and the earth just dies
     G                   Am C
Then I'll be told what I am
                G C
The swallow and me

[VERSE 2]
G
I'll look after number one
D
I'll forget the beggar's son
Am                       G
Everybody's got to stay alive

I'll keep a-walking amongst the clouds
D
I'll keep my head above the crowd
Am                                    G
I'll watch them live, I'll watch them die

[CHORUS]
                            C
And I know when the swallow flies
      G                        C
Yes I know, and the earth just dies
     G                   Am C
Then I'll be told what I am
                G
The swallow and me

[OUTRO]
                            C
And I know when the swallow flies
      G                        C
Yes I know, and the earth just dies
      G                     C
Yes I know when the swallow flies
      G                        C
Yes I know, and the earth just dies
