 Am                     C     G
I've been travelling a long time

 E  E7         Am       F
To be just a-where you are

Am                C    G
In dreams I have seen you

E    E7         Am   F
But you are so very far
CHORUS:
 C                F     C
How long must I travel on

E   E7         Am       F
To be just a-where you are?

 C                F    C
How long must I travel on

E   E7         Am       F
To be just a-where you are?

F   G         C    F   G    C
I was your friend, I was a fool

F   G       Am         F    E
I feel for you don't fall apart

F  G         C    F     G       C
I see your face lost without trace

F   G     Am             F     E
I see a vacuum an empty space

Am           C       G
Mindless child of motherhood

E          E7       Am          F
You have lost the thing that's good

Am           C      G
Mindless child of motherhood

E          E7       Am          F   F G C  F G C  F G Am F E
You have lost the thing that's good

Am           C     G  
I know that it's unfair

E   E7      Am     F
To bear a bastard son

Am              C    G
But why do you hide babe

E     E7             Am      F
When we could have shared a love? ...CHORUS
