1. Broke off from my work the other day,

Am

I spent the evening thinking about all the blood that flowed away

F

across the ocean to the second chance.

Am Em F - Dm - G

I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?

2. I've looked at the ocean, tried hard to imagine

Am

the way you felt the day you sailed

from Wester Ross to Nova Scotia.

F

We should have held you, we should have told you,

Am Em F Dm - G

but you know our sense of timing, we always wait too long.

3. I wonder, my blood, will you ever return

Am

to help us kick the life back to a dying mutual friend ?

F

Do we not love her? Do we not say we love her?

Am Em F Dm - G

Do we have to roam the world to prove how much it hurts?

C Am Dm G C

When you go will you send back a letter from America ?

Take a look up the railtrack from Miami to Canada !
