Tabbed By Graham Jones

Great song from the Levellers 2012 album Static on the Airwaves.

Standard Tuning 

  E C D C (x2)

  E                 C             D             C
I thought I heard a sound, of the speech on the wind.
   E               C       D            C
The smoulder of the smoke, hanging just above.
        E          C                  D             C
And the darkest of thoughts, have the time to gather round.
   E              C             D             C
As gentle was the word, and the speech on the sound.


Chorus:
G              D                      G         D        E
There's a place that's travelled far, always with you in your thoughts.

G                   D             G               D          E
It's where your safe underground, waiting for the world with your song.



         E            C           D                 C
And the colour of her hair, as it glides across her face.
     E          C              D                C
All thoughts of despair, never seemed so out of place.
       E      C               D     C
And it seems familiar, as the world echoes.
      E           C              D       C
Yeah, thinking of her, where you ought'a go.


Chorus:
G              D                      G         D        E
There's a place that's travelled far, always with you in your thoughts.

G                   D             G               D          E
It's where your safe underground, waiting for the world with your song.


Bridge:
G                    E
Stranded fish out of water,
G                             E
Struggling with all that they taught you.

E            C      D              C
Siren of the state, after beaching down.
E            C      D                C
Notice every word, have to touch the ground.
    E            C        D          C
You lift up your face, to every possibility.
             E         C            D            C
'Cause there has to be grace, as we journey that way.

Chorus:
G              D                      G         D        E
There's a place that's travelled far, always with you in your thoughts.

G                   D             G               D          E
It's where your safe underground, waiting for the world with your song.
