   Night was fallin' the ho -         rizon was callin', 

      F                         Fsus4                                       
as we    drove into the setting         sun

F                      Fsus4                            F       Fsus4                 
   Goin' back to that        country that we still call    ho -        me

F                       Fsus4                                               
   Said good bye to the       capital city, 

           F                         Fsus4                                  
yeah this     town has got me on the         run

F                        Fsus4                            Eb                    
   I need to spend some        time out in the great un -      known.

Gm                  Bb/F                                                    
    I'm lookin' for       sweet inspiration, 

C/E                 G#/Eb                                                      
     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                      G#/Eb                                          
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                                     
don't        bring it all      tumbling     down

   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

Gm                Bb/F                                                       
    We live in a       time when the spirit of 

C/E                        G#/Eb                                              
     love and devotion is          breakin' down

Bb/Fi                     Gm                        Ebm         F#/C#                    
      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'

Darling      you're my world, 

       Bb/F               F            Bb                                       
don't       bring it all     tumbling      down
