C                                Dm
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane 
G                             E7          Am
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain 
       F         G                 Am
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye 
       F                  G7          F            C   G7
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes 


C                                          Dm
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been 
G                                         E7        Am
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen 
       F         G                      Am
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough 
     F              G7   F           C
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much 


F                         C
Daniel my brother you are older than me 
             F                    C
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal 
               Am                         F
Your eyes have died but you see more than I 
Fm              C    A7                 Dm  G7
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky 


C                                Dm
Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane 
G                             E7          Am
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain 
       F         G                 Am
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye 
       F                  G7          F            C   G7
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes 


       F                  G7          F            C   
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

About this song: Daniel

Elton John and Bernie wrote that song in the 70's named "Daniel". Daniel is about a Vietnam vet who was blinded in the war, and is commended for being a Hero, so is sent home. His younger brother is the one supposedly singing about his heroic brother. He is called a hero and his brother wants him to stay home, and has missed him,but Daniel does not consider himself a hero at all. He simply wants to be left alone, so takes off to Spain. It was sort of dedicated to all the crippled and damaged men in the Vietnam War. Very sad song. Read more on Last.fm.
