Well I guess that I'd die with my friends at  my side

I thought of the times I was drunk on the railway

I trooped up the coastline

A walk on the moor

Saw no big wide river

No glorious faraway shore

It's such an odd feeling 
      C              G 
Their eyes burn like embers 
      C               G 
Their minds are these forests 
      C                G 
Where thoughts fall as timber 
   Em                 A7  
Be-fore I'm dragged a-way 
C     D         G 
Every now and a-gain

In time I'll for-give her 
   Em 
Be-cause when she holds hands with him 
A7                       D 
I know she's thinking of me

The valley be-low threatens me with a home
