[C]Daniel is trav'ling tonight on a p[Dm]lane,
[G]I can see the red tail lights [E7]heading for Spain,
[Am]oh, and [F]I can see Dan[G]iel waving good[Am]bye.
God it looks [F]like Daniel,
[G]must be the [G7]clouds in my ey[C]es.[G]


[C]They say Spain is pretty, though I've never [Dm]been,
[G]Well Daniel say it's the best place [E7]he's ever seen,
[Am]Oh and [F]he should know he's [G]been there en[Am]ough,
Lord I [F]miss Daniel,
[G]oh I miss [G7]him so mu[C]ch.


Oh, [F]Daniel my brother
you are [C]older than me,
do you still [F]feel the pain
of the sca[C]rs that won't heal?
Your eyes have [Am]died
but you see more than [F]I,
[Ab]Daniel you're a [C]star
[A7]in the face of the [Dm7]sky.[G7]


[C]Daniel is trav'ling tonight on a p[Dm]lane,
[G]I can see the red tail lights [E7]heading for Spain,
[Am]oh, and [F]I can see Dan[G]iel waving good[Am]bye.
God it looks [F]like Daniel,
[G]must be the [G7]clouds in my ey[C]es.
