[Intro] |Em Cm |G D |Am C |G D | |Em Cm |G D |Am C |G D | [Verse 1]
Cm
Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn Only have a lock of her hair And burning love inside
                        Bb                  F
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights

              Ab          Cm        G
The sails are lit by the lights of Boston

             Cm
(And here we go... off the ship)
Towards the adventure The one to define our lives Daily grind and a tiny room "I got here safe, Love
                           Bb
I have an address, until spring

             F
Then I shall race for the land

Ab      Cm            G
Hope to hear from you soon..."
(Her letter reads...) [Chorus]
Em             C          G          D
"Please let me know everything's all right

Am         C                      G      D
Thinking about you, though you're out of sight

      Em               C             G          D
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me

Am            C                   G      D
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me..."
[Verse 2]
Cm
"Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream

                                                           Ab
The best horse I've ever seen, a carriage and everything I need

       Cm                  Bb
I will make my way to the great unknown

      F                       Ab   Cm      G
Every moment, I wish you were here with me now..."
[Chorus]
Em             C          G          D
"Please let me know everything's all right

Am         C                      G      D
Thinking about you, though you're out of sight

      Em               C             G          D
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me

Am            C                   G      D
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me..."
[Bridge]
C           D         Am
No, I'm not a stranger among the people in here

C          D              Em
Yet I have never felt so alone

C             D
At high noon, sound will boom

Am                              C    D  Em  D
And I will start racing for the land we can call home

   Em       Am          D          G           C
"I stuck my flag in the ground, screaming and shouting

Am         D       Bm
I've never felt so proud, Love

Em     Am         D       G
We are free from eternal serfdom

C         Am        D        Bm
I'm gonna bring you home, my light!"

|Dm F |C Em | [Outro]
Em        C            G        D
I made my way into the great unknown

Am          C           G         D
Land by the river and a new-built home

Em       C            G       D
I am the land and the land is me

  Am       C              G        D
Freedom is everything and we are free

Em        C            G        D
I made my way into the great unknown

Am          C           G         D
Land by the river and a new-built home

      Em               C             G          D
Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising

Am     C       G         D      Em
I hold you and know that we are free!
