A5 B5 4x 
E5

A5                          B5    E5
Whenever I need to leave it all behind
A5                       B5     E5
Or feel the need to get away-ay-ay
A5                    A5
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
D5         D5
Out in the country

G5          D5                B5  E5
Before the breathin' air is gone
           B5 E5          A5                 D5
Before the sun  is just a bright spot in the night-time
G5             D5              B5  E5
Out where the rivers like to run
         B5  E5             A5                D5        G5
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

A5                           B5    E5
Whenever I feel them closing in on me
A5                       B5 E5
Or need a bit of room to move
A5                          A5
When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last
D5         D5
Out in the country

G5          D5                B5  E5
Before the breathin' air is gone
           B5  E5         A5                 D5
Before the sun  is just a bright spot in the night-time
G5             D5              B5  E5
Out where the rivers like to run
         B5  E5             A5                D5        G5
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'
