Speak to the sky 'cause things can get you down

and you know when you're talkin' to the Lord, to the Lord,
B A E
and the world will look better than before.
CHORUS:
B A E

A B
I always try to find some time to .......
Verse 3:

Speak to the sky and tell you how I feel
A E
and you know sometimes what I say ain't right - it's all right
B A E
cause I speak to the sky every night

I forgot to put it in the tab above, but Rick actually does this song in the key of A. You can use the transposer to get it into A - Just make sure the FIRST chord is A, and the song is then in A :-)
I've put it in in E, which is the way the Seekers do it (and also the way I do it, singing an octave below Judith Durham). While I can sing it in A, it really zaps the energy - I find E a lot easier to manage.
