Country Mile

Capo on 5th C is played as a C/G Intro: E, C, D x3 E C I've walked in the fields, and I've trod light for days D F# D G6 E Seems I'll do that old rag, takes me all kinds of ways E C Except the way I'd be headed if I knew where I was going D F# D G6 E But I'm from the country, and it's better not knowing C B7 E E7 E And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) C B7 E E7 E And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) C B7 D G6 A Asus2 And I'll walk another country mile E I'll see another star Repeat intro The poplars, and willows, and birds pass me by The mould of the earth to the space in the sky Free from my roots and I'm lost in the wind Wind on the mountain, and the mountain's my friend And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) And I'll walk another country mile I'll see another star Hemlock and yew have me toeing the line Questions come knocking, I'll answer in time But the seams of the soil unravel with ease Nose to the road and I'm painfully free And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) And I'll walk another country mile I'll see another star C G6 Call me the wind in the hole D E D Blowing my way to the call E D G6 I'll dust up the days 'til I've gone every way D C G C G C G No less and I've never wanted mo-re, mo-re, mo-re Lost on the bough in a golden refrain Sleep goes away and the day comes again But the rain on my cap has me chasing a roof I'll be this young choice 'til I'm long in the tooth And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) And I'll walk another country mile I'll see another star And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) And I'll walk another country mile I'll see another star Illuminate me Illuminate me
