[Tip]
* As with most Cast songs half step down tuning is essential. Chords reflect finger
positions.
** Intro, after 4 bars of D, you are continuing playing bars of D but on 3rd beat switch
to a G before
going back to D (this goes on for another 7 bars) This carries on through verses and in
outro
*** although this is very electrical on the record this can be played acoustically. See
John Powers version

on the vid
where you can see his fingers :-))

Till I leave what I left behind

Bring me out in open fields

Set beside the sea

They promised me a better life

Safe within your reach, In your reach

Well you better start making your way
