[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
The scenery's changing and it warms my soul

     Bm                    G
I'm 200 miles down and a long way yet to go

D
so get your boots on and your walking coat

            Bm                           G
And we'll together leave our footprints upon a virgin snow

             D     Bm G               D
That ancient sunrise will soon descend

              Bm                         G                         D
And we'll be left here pondering on the things which we can depend

          D
So let's start over with no means to an end

        A                       Bm           G              D
Just an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends
[Chorus]
            A                              Bm          G
Yeah, well, London was all right but I was dead in the water

         A                               Bm            G
Couldn't see it in its light, I couldn't kneel in its altar

 G                  Bm                     A
All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground

        G                 A              G               D
But I'm feeling all right now, yeah, I'm feeling all right
[Verse 2]
      D
Every morning when the coffee's on

       A                            Bm           G             D
And I rediscover that color in your eyes, in its gold and its bronze

           D
And in the moonlight we'll get the candles going

         A                  Bm           G                   D
With the recitations of the parish poets popping on our tongues
[Chorus]
            A                              Bm          G
Yeah, well, London was all right but I was dead in the water

         A                               Bm            G
Couldn't see it in its light, I couldn't kneel in its altar

 G                  Bm                     A
All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground

       A              Bm           G
And it stank from the feet of its culture

    A              Bm              G
I'd hide away from wolves and the vultures

 G                  Bm                     A
All I wanted was to tear it right down to the ground

        G                 A              G               D
But I'm feeling all right now, yeah, I'm feeling all right
[Bridge]
       D
In the recitations of the parish poets

       Bm                                 G
In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats

A              Bm
I will find my means to an end

        G                        Bm           A        D
With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends

    D
In the recitations of the parish poets

       Bm                                 G
In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats

A              Bm
I will find my means to an end

        G                        Bm           A        D
With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends

    D
In the recitations of the parish poets

       Bm                                 G
In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats

A              Bm
I will find my means to an end

        G                        Bm           A        D
With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends

    D
In the recitations of the parish poets

       Bm                                 G
In the buildings, in the burrows, in the Loch Tay boats

A              Bm
I will find my means to an end

        G                        Bm           A        D
With an open-hearted hope and a closed hand, full of friends
