Biography:
The Mission (known as The Mission UK in the United States due to a naming clash with a Philadelphia R&B band) is a goth band formed in 1986 in Leeds, England from the splinters of the freshly-dissolved goth band The Sisters of Mercy.
The band's original lineup consisted of Wayne Hussey (vocals, guitar), Craig Adams (bass), Simon Hinckler (guitar) and Mick Brown (drums). Hussey and Adams were formerly members of The Sisters of Mercy, Mick Brown was a former member of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and Hickler was a former member of Artery and Pulp.

(Remark: On the low E-string, I use the little finger for the "3"
note, and the thumb for the "2" and "1". I also find the "4" note
quite difficult to reach, so usually I play that as a "0".)
Am G D F
There's a lump in my throat, and an ache in my heart
Am G D F
There's tears in my eyes, 'cause we're an ocean apart
Am G
There's nothing quite as real as being on my own,
D F
Nothing quite as true as being all alone
Am F
This bird has flown,
D F
But when the summer has passed, she'll come back home
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,
G# Am
Stay with me forever
G D F Am G D F
Am G D F
With a change of season, she flies her nest
Am G D F
And like the sunny dusk, she sets to the west
Am G D F
Loneliness is the cross I bear, solitude is the cloak I wear
Am G
I miss you, I need you, I love you,
D F
When the autumn comes, I'll be waiting for you
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,
G# Am F G Em F Dm E7
Stay with me forever, and ever, and ever, and ever
Am F G Em F Dm E7 (Repeat till end)
