eric bogle - somewhere in america lyrics

Loading...

across the north dakota hills the twilit road unwinds,

e a e b7 e

the setting sun sprays showers of gold across the dark green pines.

e a e b7

the evening shadows change from grey to an ever deepening blue,

e a e b7 e

and i’m somewhere in america, half a world away from you.

+ e – a – e – b7 – e

e a e b7

2. with sixteen towns behind me, and sixteen more to go,

e a e b7 e

i’ve long since stopped believing in the romance of the road.

e a e b7

though friends and kind hearts wait for me in the town i’m heading to,

e a e b7 e

i’m somewhere in america, half a world away from you.

e a b7 e

and the road goes on and on and on,

e a b7 e

the road goes on and o….n and on.

e a e b7

3. and here and there along the road, welcoming and bright,

e a e b7 e

the lights from home and farmstead pierce the dark dakota night.

e a e b7

their brightness shines on others’ lives, their welcome’s for their own,

e a e b7 e

and i’m somewhere in america, half a world away from home.

+ e – a – e – b7 – e

e a e b7

4. but, well, you know, i love this life, the endless road’s the stage,

e a e b7 e

that music’s a fever in the blood, a wild bird in the cage.

e a e b7

you and i let that wild bird fly, its bright dreams to pursue,

e a e b7 e

now i’m somewhere in america, half a world away from you.

e a b7 e

and the road goes on and on and on,

e a b7 e

and the road goes on and o….n and on.

e a e b7

5. across the north dakota hills the twilit road unwinds,

e a e b7 e

the setting sun sprays showers of gold across the dark green pines.

e a e b7

the evening shadows change from grey to an ever deepening blue,

e a e b7 e

and i’m somewhere in america, half a world away from you.

e a e b7 a – e

yes, i’m somewhere in america, half a world away from you.
