[Intro]
Em D5 Em
To ride the storm to an empire of the clouds
D C Em
To ride the storm, they climbed aboard their silver ghost
Em D5 Em
To ride the storm to a kingdom that will come
D C Em
To ride the storm and damn the rest oblivion
[Verse 1]
Am G
Royalty and dignitaries, brandy and cigars
Em
Grey lady giant of the skies
Fmaj7
You hold them in your arms
Am
The millionth chance they laughed
G
To take down his majesty's craft
Em Fmaj7
To India they say magic carpet float away
Fmaj7
An October fateful day
[Movement 2: 03:10-06:58]

[Verse 2]
Em
Mist is in the trees
Em
Stone sweats with the dew
Dsus2 C Em
The morning sunrise, red before the blue
Em
Hanging at the mast, waiting for command
Dsus2 C Em
His Majesty's airship, the R101
[Verse 3]
Am
She's the biggest vessel built by man
G
A giant of the skies
Em Fmaj7
For all you unbelievers, the Titanic fits inside
Am G
Drum roll tight her canvas skin, silvered in the sun
Em Fmaj7
Never tested with the fury, with the beating yet to come
Fmaj7
The fury yet to come
[Verse 4]
E5
In the gathering gloom
E5 D6/9 E5
The storm rising in the west
E5
The coxswain stared
D6/9 Cmaj7 E5
Into the plunging weather glass
[Verse 5]
E5
We must go now
E5 D6/9 E5
We must take our chance with fate
E5
We must go now
D6/9 Cmaj7 E5
For a politician, he can't be late
[Verse 6]
Am G
The airship crew awake for thirty hours at full stretch
Em
But the ship is in their backbone
Fmaj7
Every sinew, every inch
Am G
She never flew at full speed, a trial never done
Em Fmaj7
Her fragile outer cover her Achilles would become
Fmaj7
An Achilles yet to come
[Verse 7]
E5 D6/9 E5
Sailors of the sky,
E5 D6/9 E5
A hardened breed
D6/9 Cmaj7 E5
Loyal to the king and an airship creed
E5 D6/9 E5
The engines drum,
E5 D6/9 E5
The telegraph sounds
D6/9 Cmaj7 E5
Release the cords that bind us to the ground
[Verse 8]
Am
Said the coxswain
G
"Sir, she's heavy, she'll never make this flight"
Em
Said the captain
Fmaj7
"Damn the cargo, we'll be on our way tonight"
Am
Groundlings cheered in wonder
G
As she backed off from the mast
Em Fmaj7
Baptizing them her water from the ballast fore and aft
Fmaj7
Now she slips into our past
[Movement 3: 06:58-15:12]

[Verse 9]
Em
Fighting the wind as it rolls you
C
Feeling the diesels that push you along
Am
Watching the channel below you
C D
Lower and lower into the night
Em
Lights are passing below you
C
Northern France asleep in their beds
Am
Storm is raging around you
C D
A million to one, that's what he said
[Instrumental Break]
|Em |Em |D |D |C |C |Em |Em | (x2)
[Verse 10]
Em
Reaper standing beside her
C
With his scythe cuts to the bone
Am
Panic to make a decision
C D
Experienced men asleep in their graves
Em
Her cover is ripped and she's drowning
C
Rain is flooding into the hull
Am
Bleeding to death and she's falling
C D
Lifting gas is draining away

[Verse 11]
Am
"We're down lads" came the cry
G
Bow plunging from the sky
Em Fmaj7
Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die
Am G
The flares to guide her path, ignited at the last
Em
The empire of the clouds
Fmaj7
Just ashes in our past, just ashes at the last
[Instrumental]

[Verse 12]
E5 D6/9 Cmaj7 D6/9
Here lie their dreams as I stand in the sun
E5 D6/9 Cmaj7 D6/9
On the ground where they built and the engines did run
E5 D6/9
To the moon and the stars
Cmaj7 D6/9
Now what have we done?
E5 D6/9 Cmaj7 D6/9 Em D/F# Em D
Oh, the dreamers may die, but the dreams live on
Em D/F# Em D
Dreams live on,
Em D/F# Em D Em D/F# Em D
Dreams live on
[Instrumental Break]
|Em |Em |Dsus2 C |Em |
[Outro]
Em
Now a shadow on a hill, the angel of the east
Dsus2 C Em
The empire of the clouds may rest in peace
Em
And in a country churchyard laid head to the mast
Dsus2 C Em
Eight and forty souls who came to die in France
[Ending]
|Dsus2 C |Em |
