Song by Ralph McTell ‧ 1975 [Verse]
    G                       C/G
Thousands of miles without moving

        A           A7               C  D
In the silence and stillness we're turning

   G                              C        G
Who scattered the stars in the field of night?

          A                     C
Say it's all right, say it's all right,

                D  G
Well say it's all right.

G     C              D     G
Ocean storm-thrown boats collide

     C        G    D
With waves of no direction

       C      G      D    G
With compass set up on a star

C            G      Dsus    D
Head for the port's protection.

G                            C   G
Faster than light we're not ageing,

   A                             C D
So where does the time go we're saving?

G                     C      G
Give me a sermon for sleep tonight

                    A                    C
Won't you say it's all right, say it's all right,

               D    G
Well say it's all right.

C        G        D    G
And the driftwood it collides

     C        G          D
With blind boats on the water

    C      G            D         G
Oh, sad I watched the moon fall down,

        C      G      D/Dsus  D
But the river safely caught her.

G                               C  G
Confusion of stars where's the pattern

   A                   C    D
To chart us away from collision?

        G             Bm             C           G
We are dust, we are spark, we were light before dark

           A7             C
It was all right, it is all right,

           D      G
And it'll be all right.

C          G   D        G
Above, below, worlds collide

    C    G         D
In the before and after

       C     G        D       G
Oh happy to watch the sun go down

     C       G         D
And join the angels' laughter.
