IntroADAF#mEAVerse 1A
Everyday I’m awake,
DA
I’ve been thinking about you
F#mDE
And I can’t get you over my mind
A
You’re the girl of my dreams,
DA
The mother of my children
F#mDEA
I’m as proud as any man can be alive
Pre-ChorusF#mA
As the wind blows heavy down the mountain side
F#mE
And the darkness of night closes in
ChorusA
As I lie in my bed
DA
I can hear your heart pounding
F#mDEA
Far away in another country
F#mDEA
Far away in another country
Verse 2A
And I dream of the day
DA
We’ll be packin' up and leaving
F#mDE
This God-forsaken corner of the world
A
Are the boys getting taller?
DA
Is your tummy getting broader?
F#mDEA
Do we know if it’s a boy or it’s a girl?
Pre-ChorusF#mA
And I reach out to touch you in the middle of the night
F#mE
And I swear you are lying next to me
ChorusA
But you’re not, I’m awake
DA
With my poor heart aching
F#mDEA
Far away in another country
F#mDEA
Far away in another country
BridgeEF#m
One of these bright, sunny days
DA
I’ll be coming down that road again
EF#m
My journey at an end
DE
God bless you until then

ADAF#mDEADAF#mDEAVerse 3A
How I miss, how I miss
DA
The colour of the springtime
F#mDE
and the moonlight, shining through your hair
A
Say hello to my friends
DA
and all of our kindred
F#mDEA
Tell them I will soon be there
Pre-ChorusF#mA
There’s a tear in my eye as I try to sleep
F#mE
Are the boys still calling out my name
ChorusADA
Tell 'em, “daddy’s in a fight between good and evil
F#mDEA
Far away in another country
F#mDEA
Far away in another country
F#mDEA
Far away in another country"
