   Night was fallin' the ho -         rizon was callin', 
      F                         Fsus4                                       
as we    drove into the setting         sun
F                      Fsus4                            F       Fsus4

F                       Fsus4                                               
   Said good bye to the       capital city, 
           F                         Fsus4

   I need to spend some        time out in the great un -      known.


Gm                  Bb/F                                                    
    I'm lookin' for       sweet inspiration, 
C/E                 [ch]G#/Eb[/ch]                                                      
     every morning         noon and night
Bb/Fi                      Gm                           G#       C/E                  
       But these days it      just keeps on passing me      by -       y



F                              Fsus4                                         
   I know you don't feel like         making this journey, 
         F                          Fsus4                                   
but you     know that time is on my        side
F                 Fsus4                        F        Fsus4                         
   I can't go on         living like a refu -      gee 
F                            Fsus4                                           
   Way down south where the         living is easy, 
        F                              Fsus4                                 
we can     look across the great di -         vide
F                          Fsus4                      Eb                        
   But all we've got is a         pocketful of memo -      ries.


Gm                   Bb/F                                                    
    We stood on the        motorway shoulder 
       C/E                      [ch]G#/Eb[/ch]                                          
as the       sun rose over the         lowland hills
Bb/Fi                      Gm                         Ebm        F#                   
      And my heart broke      down, when I looked at       you -      ou


Bb/F                                                                    
     Don't tell me you're leavin' me now, 
          Gm                                                           
when you      know how hard I've been tryin'
         Eb                                                            
Darling      you're my world, 
       Bb/F                F            Bb                                      
don't        bring it all     tumbling      down
Bb/F                                                                    
      It's only the code of the road, 
         Gm                                                            
and the      sound of a motor wheel cryin'
            Eb                                                         
Don't re -      nege my love, 
       Bb/F                F             Bb

   One more morning, yes an -        other day dawning, 
         F                          Fsus4

F                          Fsus4                              F      Fsus4           
   Wish I could change my        whole life, and just fly a -    wa -       ay
F                     Fsus4                                                 
   Over the mountains        down through the valleys, 
             F                         Fsus4                                
through the     homeland of the Celtic         kings
F                     Fsus4                          Eb

C/E                        [ch]G#/Eb[/ch]                                              
     love and devotion is          breakin' down
Bb/Fi                     Gm                        Ebm         [ch]F#/C#[/ch]

Bb/F                                                                    
     Don't tell me you're leavin' me now,
