Biography:
The Animals were a British rock band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle. They were part of the British Invasion, being one of the most popular bands of their era. Known for their gritty, raw, bluesy sound and hard-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature songs House of the Rising Sun and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, the band underwent numerous personnel changes, while influencing the later heavy metal music with the riffs of their rock songs such as We Gotta Get Out Of This Place and It's my Life.

"Sky Pilot"
(Burdon / Briggs / Weider / Jenkins / McCulloch)
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

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]
Interlude:
2:49 twin guitar solo over Bb
3:10 sound effects enter
3:56 bagpipes enter, guitars fade

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
