Em A
Breathe, breathe in the air
Em A
Don't be afraid to care
Em A
Leave but don't leave me
Em A
Look around and chose your own ground
C/G
For long you live and high you fly
Bm/F#
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
F7+
And all you touch and all you see
G D7/9+ D7/9- Em
Is all your life will ever be
Em A
Run, run rabbit run
Em A
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
Em A
And when at last the work is done
Em A
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
C/G
For long you live and high you fly
Bm/F#
But only if you ride the tide
F7+
And balanced on the biggest wave
G D7/9+ D7/9- Em
You race toward an early grave.
Em A
Home, home again
Em A
I like to be there when I can
Em A
When I come in cold and tired
Em A
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
C/G
Far away across the field
Bm/F#
The tolling of the iron bell
F7+
Calls the faithful to their knees
G D7/9+ D7/9- Bm
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
