Verse 
Em           C 
And the hot hard healer 

G                  C 
Is a sweet street feeler 

D               C 
And a wild wet wheeler 

Em           C 
The pink prince of failures 

G                  C 
Is a spoiled sea sailor 

Em           C 
With terns and wailers

Through the window, the daw

Intro 

Verse 

Like an air-blue eagle 
Sailing through the ceiling 
At the edge of feeling 
On the emerald island 
All the shipwrecked spy him 
And the searchlights shining 



 
Em                 Bm 
And Pulled up the ribbon 

Em            Bm 
Pulled up the ribbon 

C                    G     Bm 
And brought into the light 

Em                 Bm 
And Pulled up the ribbon 

Em            Bm 
Pulled up the ribbon 

C                    G     
And watched all in the sky 

Bm                  
But you pull up the ribbon  


Em            Bm  
pull up the ribbon (Pull up the ribbon)  

Em            Bm  
(Pull up the ribbon) 

C                 G 
Across oceans of sky 

Bm          C 
Through the air, lifts on and on 

      G  Bm      C 
Till starlit and in and out we're drawn
