Pull out the cork from the bottle my friend, Take your coat off and sit on down beside me We’ll be around here till morning – there’s no hurry We can play all night and we can sing in harmony We’ll leave all our cares and our troubles behind We’re here for the music again Ch. So pull up a chair – you can sit anywhere And we’ll play well until morning light Though this doesn’t happen too often these days We’ll still get together when we find a way And we’ll play and we’ll sing just like in the old days And we’ll toast St. Albert tonight 2. The landlord’s a madman – he’s locked us all in Although we have surely committed no sin Resistance is useless – don’t put up a fight For he has condemned us to stay here all night And we’ll get more beer if we play our cards right And then we can play once again 3. It must be your turn now to buy the next round It’s hours since you bought your last one Our eyes they are red and our fingers are sore The sun it is risen it’s daytime one more But we’ll sing once last song and a chorus before It’s off to the grindstone again

G G(C) Rolling down the highway, my guitar in my hand G Em C Crazy dreams still in my head, looking for a country band D Em C Am Here this summer morning I can no longer stay Am G Am D D7 A new day it is dawning as I set out on my way G G(C) And I’ll fly and I’ll fly away G C.

1. Tired of these days in the shadows Tired of these hard rolling days Tired of these strangers and tired of my load Tomorrow I’m fixing to go CH. Turning our backs on the city That takes more from us than we owe Turning our backs – leave this hard life behind We’ll head for a life on the road 2. Nothing to show for my labour Nothing is left here to gain Nothing to work for but hardship and pain That stings like the cold driving rain 3. We’ll head further on from the city And hold up our heads to the sun And breathe in the pure air that’s all here for free Our journey has only begun

1. Out from the harbour our tall ship is leaving Lights all around us from streets that are crowding Down to the water’s edge Slowly receding small boats and trawlers Tied up and floating now as the turning Tideway slips past as we go Ch. Lighthouses reach out far over the sea Patterns and stripes spread afar Drifting out slowly to start a new life The moon and the bright sailors’ stars Are watching over me, are watching over me 2. Am I too hasty, am I too slow Why should I stay when there’s nothing I know To stop me from sailing away And slowly slip off all my shackles and ties And all those deceits, all those secrets and lies All washed away in the spray Ch. Lighthouses reach out far over the sea Patterns and stripes spread afar Drifting out slowly to start a new life The moon and the bright sailors’ stars Are watching over me, are watching over me 3. Light of the future far in the distance Beckons me over the ocean as slowly We rise and we fall in the swell Bringing me hope of an end to this sorrow Bearing me further away every hour Way past the point of return Ch. Lighthouses reach out far over the sea Patterns and stripes spread afar Drifting out slowly to start a new life The moon and the bright sailors’ stars Are watching over me, are watching over me

Dm Beneath a perfect clear blue sky Bflat In endless rows the young men lie C By the perfect symmetry of chance Am Dm Their crosses all say ‘Mort pour France’. Gm Together for three hundred days Dm They marched along la voie sacree C In ceaseless columns one by one Dm Dm/C To death and pain from foreign guns Gm etc. And here, divided by their faith The Moslem graves to Mecca face Their stones at half a shoulder turn The rows of Christian crosses spurn Gm etc. Although they died on the same side Reflecting all their faiths’ divide In different facing rows they lie Beneath their common maker’s eye Bflat Up in a perfect clear blue sky F The cranes forever eastward fly C Like great grey crosses row on row Dm Dm/C Towards the distant winter snow Bflat etc. Their cries of life still fill the air Above the quiet hillsides bare Where trench and shell holes scar the land They fly serene in endless bands Bflat etc. In perfect symmetry of life Knowing nothing of our strife Onward each and every year While young men are still lying here Dm etc. Beneath a perfect clear blue sky In endless rows the young men lie By the perfect symmetry of chance Their crosses all say ‘Mort pour France’. Dm section repeated until out.

1. By their houses in this valley People stand within the shade Locked within the passages of time Waiting for the caravan to come in from the desert Laden with the burden of their trade And far above the jagged mountains Capped with snow march on forever Towards a far horizon where they know they’ll never go Whilst the scouring hand of time It never seems to touch these people Locked here in this valley far below 2. We are standing at this crossroads Where the sky goes on forever Where the roaring river races on and on And the sand blows from the desert into devils all around And makes us hide our faces in our hands While far above those jagged mountains Capped with snow march on forever Towards a far horizon where we will one day go Within our ceaseless journey There is always one more mountain Always one more pass for us to climb 3. Where to go and where to follow As we set out for tomorrow As we pass like lonely pilgrims through this land Where to shuffle in the shadows in the shade of passing time Where to travel on or where to make a stand? One day we’ll cross a final pass and we will rest again Where the almond blossom glistens in the sun And where we know that we can sit And we can watch the world go by And know at last our journey it is done

D G Dreaming just plays tricks on you; dreams can slip your mind G D A Incomplete and bittersweet, they steal away your time D G Like the hole that opens up, between the 9 and 10 D Bm A D Dreams they all just slip away, and won’t come back again G D G A But every dream you ever had, and every wish beside G D Em Bm You can find they’re all still there A D If you open up your mind Some dreams are cold and rough to touch, cut your fingertips Bring bitterness into your wine, that puckers on your lips With smell and taste of forest floors of soap and turpentine But some have scent of summer sun that lingers in your mind Dreams play loose and hard to get, sneer and scoff and scare Dreams can open up your fears and make them hard to bear But just when you running from the shadows and the pain Some dreams send you hope and joy that always will remain But every dream you ever had, and every wish beside You can find they’re all still there If you open up your mind Put your hands over your eyes, fingers in your ears Slowly start to count to ten – you can face your fears When you get to just past 9, take your hands away Open up your eyes and see your dreams come true today But every dream you ever had, and every wish beside You can find they’re can come true If you open up your mind Yes you can find they’re can come true If you open up your mind

1. Like ghosts I watch the sailboats slip out in the swelling tide Like children's paper shapes they catch the breeze and start to ride Out past the cliffs and ever on toward the rising sun Ever on, I travel on, as I try to find my home And who’ll be there to keep me on dry land? Who’ll be there to lend a helping hand? Who is there to save me if I drown? 2. The sullen clouds that brought the rain that lashed me on my face Are breaking now – through clearer skies out on the tidal race I watch a single shaft of sunlight dancing on the waves Ever on, I travel on, as I try to find my home And who’ll be there to be my guiding light? And stop me falling into endless night? Who’ll be there to ease my aching head? La la la 3. The sun is set, the birdsong ended – sky’s a deeper blue The coil of wood smoke’s rising as the last log’s burning through The warmth of day is gone and here the night’s a darker hue Ever on, I’ve travelled on, to this place that I’ll call my home Though there’s no-one here to share what I have found There’s shelter here to cover me, there’s comfort to be found And here I’ll build my house on solid ground

1. On the lost lonely highway, my hope in my hand D C D Slipping slowly from me here as I stand G C My eyes on the horizon, the mountains and the sea D C D Looking for a rainbow in a land forever dry Em Bm Looking to the distance I’m forever onward bound C Am C Am I’m drowning not waving, floating not sailing, C D I’m lost here not found G C Ch. And I’m looking for a doorway or a pathway through the sky Am D C D C D And I can’t get home no matter how I try G C 2. And wherever that I came from and wherever I am bound D C D Distant lonely questions that rattle in my mind G C Sometimes it seems that the weight of these days D C D Bears so heavy on my shoulders that it’s too hard to face the day Em Bm And sometimes your face can hardly form in my mind C Am C Am And whenever I can’t see you and whenever you’re not there C D D7 Then I am truly blind G C Ch. And I’m looking for a doorway or a pathway through the sky Am D C D C D And I can’t get home no matter how I try G C But out here on the highway you can start to understand D C D You can’t search for the sunrise when its right there in your hand G C All the hoping all the dreaming that runs through your head D C D Cannot build for you a shelter, cannot make for you a bed Em Bm And out here in this desert, where the highways all do meet C Am C Am You can find that the answer to all of these yearnings C D Is right here at your feet G C And I’ve found me a rainbow; I’ve a hole through the sky Am D C D And I’m no longer running, I no longer have to try G C Yes I’ve found me a rainbow, I’ve a hole in the sky Am D And I’m no longer running C……………………………………….G Cos I’m already there………

As leaf fall comes at season’s turn With hardened briar and browning fern And piles of leaves still crisp and dry The early autumn sun still climbing high Here at millennium here at millennium Here at millennium here at millennium And high above these woods and hills The sky with parting birds it fills As cooler breezes start to blow All crops are in, and bonfires glow Here at millennium here at millennium Though every footstep still reminds Of better seasons, kinder times We stand together still as pines Soft of voice and strong of mind And we who’re left we watch and learn A little more each season’s turn The richest memories we retain Here we will come and here remain Here at millennium here at millennium

Take your coat off and sit on down beside me You don’t have to be alone You don’t have to be you don’t have to think or act In any way that’s not your own And I can see it in the shadow of your eyes You’ve been up all night out in the rain And through the window I can see the early dawn Brings the restless day again And I would give so much to take it all away from you But I know that can’t be true But I can hold on to the fragments of your soul And you can lean on me In this room with me you’re safe – you can be certain All your wounds can start to heal I can hear you I can hold, I can comfort you And all that emptiness you feel I would give so much to take it all away from you But I know that can’t be true But I can hold on to the fragments of your soul And you can lean on me
