( Am  C  G  E  E7  Am  F )

 Am                     C     G  E  E7         Am       F
I've been travelling a long time to be just a-where you are
Am                C    G  E    E7         Am   F
In dreams I have seen you but you are so very far

Refr?o:
 C                F     C  E  E7         Am       F
How long must I travel on, to be just a-where you are?
 C                F    C   E  E7         Am       F
How long must I travel on, to be just a-where you are?
F    C F  C

I was your friend,        I was a  fool
F   F/E     Am                    F   E
I feel for you though we're far apart
F    C  F    C

I see your face,       lost without trace
F  F/E      Am                    F  E
I see your mind, drift in empty space
Am           C       G
Mindless child of motherhood
E          E7       Am          F
You have lost the thing that's good
Am           C      G
Mindless child of motherhood
E          E7       Am          F
You have lost the thing that's good

( F  C  F   C  F G Am F E )

Am           C     G    E   E7      Am     F
I know that it's unfair to bear a bastard son
Am              C    G    E   E7              Am      F
But why do you hide babe when we could have shared a love?

(Refr?o)
