verse 3:
I thought about a new destination
I'm never short of new inspiration
Roll out the map and knock it with a gin.
I will follow every direction
just lace up your shoes while I'm fetching
a sleeping bag and tent.
[Refrão]
G E A G F#
All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet
G E
A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
G D
My joy will be complete
(Then there's a second solo which I haven't figured out yet, but it can't be hard. I'm
sure that there are two guitars playing that one. It is almost the same as the first one.)
verse 4:
Thought about a new destination
I'm never short of new inspiration
Roll out the map and knock it with a gin
made my plans to conquer the country
I'm waiting for you to get out of your situation
with your job and with your life
Chorus:
all I need is somewhere I
can feel the grass beneath my feet.
A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
my joy will be complete.
Chorus 2:
Another summer's passing by
all I need is somewhere I
can feel the grass beneath my feet.
A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands
my joy will be complete.
