Capo 4 suggested
C F
The sky's bright and clear, the wind's blowing strong
F C D G
Winter has passed now the sun's shining proud
C F
What a glorious day to send up a kite
F C G C
To dance and to soar high over the clouds
C F
Through the traffic and noise, I ran to the park
F C D G
An island surrounded with castles of stone
C F
With my kite and a spool of clear plastic line
F C G C
We journey together a long way from home
[Optional: High E- 0-1-3 into F]
Chorus:
F C F C
Little kite tell me, for I cannot fly
F C F C
Can you see distant oceans and mountains so high
F C F C
But most of all tell me, for I cannot see
F C Dm G C
Is there God in heaven, does he know of me?
C F
Lighter than air, my little kite flew
F C D G
Riding the wind like an eagle in flight
C F
So far away now just a speck in the sky
F C G C
Reaching the heavens it vanished from sight
Chorus
C F
Well someone passed by, and looked at me strange
F C D G
He asked what you doing on this day so fair?
C F
Flying a kite, well how could that be
F C G C
Can’t you see little boy there's nothing up there
F C F C
Little kite tell me why I've been so blind
F C F C
Using my eyes oh in place of my mind
F C F C
For though I can't see you I do understand
F C G C
You're tuggin' and pullin' the string in my hand
F C G C
You're tuggin' and pullin' the string in my hand
