Al Stewart – Sand In Your Shoes (Guitar)

    G             Em
You always were a city kid

       C                D
Though you were country raised

    G               Em
And back in some forgotten time

   C                     D
We shared the cold north days

        G               Em
But the simple life was not your style

        C             D
And you just had to escape

        G       C     Bm   Am     D    G
So it's goodbye to my lady of the is - lands

   G                   Em
On Remembrance Day the bands all played

    C                        D
The bells pealed through the park

        G                 Em
And you lay there by the "Do Not" signs

    C                     D
And shamed them with your spark

     G               Em
Now, winter moans in old men's bones

       C              D
As the day falls into dark

         G       C     Bm   Am     D    G
And it's goodbye to my lady of the is - lands

       Bm               Em
It was just like this behind

               Am             D
The kisses you so soon swept away

     Bm               Em
Oh I always knew that some day 

         Am                D       Am  Bm  Am
You'd be bound to just get pulled away

    G                Em
The summer sun beats on and on

    C                 D
The shops swim in the heat

           G               Em
And you're standin' by the traffic signs

     C             D
With taxis at your feet

        G                 Em
Well, I know that in your city skin

       C               D
You're feeling more complete

        G       C     Bm   Am     D    G
So it's goodbye to my lady of the is - lands

      G             Em
No, I never got the letters

         C                   D
That you said, you'd send to me

        G       C     Bm   Am     D    G
So it's goodbye to my lady of the is - lands
