  Intro (acapella):

  

  	He blesses the boys as they stand in line

  	They smell of gun grease  and their bayonets they shine

  	He's there to help them all that he can

  	To make them feel wanted, he's a good holy man

  

  	[band enters]

  Chorus:

  

  	 Bb    Eb  Bb 

  	Sky... pilot

  	 Bb    Eb  Bb 

  	Sky... pilot

  	Cm                  Bb

  	   How high can you fly

  	       Cm                              Bb

  	You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky

  

  Verse 1:

  

  	    Cm                                  Eb

  	He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right

  	    Cm                         Eb

  	He knows of their fear in the forthcoming flight

  	 Cm                         Eb

  	Soon there'll be blood and many will die

  	 Cm                       F

  	Mothers and fathers back home they will cry

  

  [repeat chorus]

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile

  	The order is given, they move down the line

  	But he stay'll [sic] behind and he'll meditate

  	But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate

  

  Verse 3:

  

  	And the young men move out into the battle zone

  	He feels good, with God you're never alone

  	He feels so tired and he lays on his bed

  	Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said

  

  [repeat chorus]

  Verse 4:

  

  	You're soldiers of God, you must understand

  	The fate of your country is in your young hands

  	May God give you strength, do your job real well

  	If it all was worth it, only time it will tell

  

  Verse 5:

  

  	In the morning they returned  with tears in their eyes

  	The stench of death drifts up to the skies

  	A young soldier so ill  looks at the Sky Pilot

  	Remembers the words, "Thou shalt not kill"

  

  [repeat chorus, 2X]

  

  Coda [repeat to fade]:

  

  	        Cm            Eb               Bb

  	You'll never (never) (never) reach the sky
