[Intro]
G Gmaj7 G C Cadd9 C G Gmaj7 G C Cadd9 C
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7 G
From the moorlands and the meadows to this city of the shadows,
G5 G6 G5 Am D
Where I wander old and lonely, comes a call I understand.
C Am Bm Em
In clear soft notes enthralling, it is calling, ever calling,
Am D C D/F# G G5 G
'Tis the spirit of the open from the dear old borderlands.
C G5 G6 G5
For this grim huge city daunts me, its wail of sorrow haunts me,
C Cadd9 C Am D
A nameless figure tossed a- midst the human surf that beats,
C Am Bm Em
Forever and forever, in a frenzy of endeavor
Am D C D/F# G
All along the cruel barriers of its never ending streets.
Gmaj7 G C Cadd9 C G Gmaj7 G C Cadd9 C
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7 G
But I'll leave it in the morning, slip away without awarning,
G5 G6 G5 Am D
Save a handclasp from the friend that knows the call that leads me on.
C Am Bm Em
In the city's clang and clatter one old man the less won't matter,
Am D C D/F# G G5 G
And no one here will say me nay or care that I am gone.
C G5 G6 G5
By Caddonfoot I'll linger, it has charms to stay the singer,
C Cadd9 C Am D
And from the bridge a painter's dream of beauty there I'll see.
C Am Bm Em
But I'll leave it all behind me when the purple evening shadows find me,
Am D C D/F# G
Past the vines of Clovenfords to haunted Torwoodlee.
Gmaj7 G C Cadd9 C G Gmaj7 G C Cadd9 C
[Verse 3]
G Gmaj7 G
Fair Dryborough and Melrose touched by the wizard's spell arose,
G5 G6 G5 Am D
And Bemerside and Leaderfoot and Elwyn's fairy dene,
C Am Bm Em
With the Tweed serenely gliding, clearly seen and shyly hiding,
Am D C D/F# G G5 G
Where eildons raise their triple crest to sentinel the scene.
C G5 G6 G5
But alas, the dream is over, I awake now to disco-ver
C Cadd9 C Am D
The city's rush and the bustling crowds and the din on every hand.
C Am Bm Em
But my ear a-softly falling, I can hear the curlews calling,
Am D C D/F# G
And I know that soon I'll see them in the dear old borderland.
