Caravan song (1979)    (video)

 

             C                   D7               Dm                    G                 Am

1. The early light is breaking, the morning sun is waiting in the sky,

               D                        G

    and I think I'm gonna break away,

            C                        Am         D          G    - G7

    and follow where the birds of freedom fly.

                    C     - C7                F     - D

    I need to give,        I need to live,

                  C

    for the world is slowly turning,

                 Dm                        G                   C

    and the lights of love are burning in my eyes.

 

         C                   Em                 F         Dm            CG

Caravans, oh, my soul is on the run overland, I am flying.

          C                  Em               F            Dm                              G

Caravans, moving out into the sun, oh, I don't know where I'm going,

             FC

but I'm going.

 

+  Dm - C#

 

       C                    D7           Dm                         G                          Am

2. Wish I had the wisdom to find some simple words to make you see,

            D                          G

    the things that mean a lot to you

              C                       Am       D       G    - G7

    don't always seem to mean a lot to me.

                       C        - C7                 F       - D

    I need to breathe,        I need to leave,

                     C

    when the sands of time go drifting by,

       Dm                   G                     C

    I may be on my own, but I'll be free.

 

+  CHORUS (2x)      + Dm - C# - C
