Verse Bm Bsus Bm
Take me away from the city
G A Bm
Lead me to where I can be on my own
Bm Bsus Bm
I wanted to see you but now that I have
G A Bm
I just want to be left alone
A D
I'll always remember your kind words
Em7 F# (E7)
And I'll still remember your name
Bm G
But I've seen you changing and turning
A Bm
And I know that things won't be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
A G D A
[Chorus]
D A Bm
I remember that summer in Dublin
G D
And the Liffey, yes, it stank like hell
Em Bm7
And the young people walking on Grafton Street
Em A
And everyone looking so well
D A Bm
I was singing a song I heard somewhere
G D
Called rock and roll never forgets
Em Bm7
When my humming was smothered by the 46A
Em A
And the scream of the low flying jets
D A Bm
So I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire
G D
Stopping off to pick up my guitar
Em Bm7
When a drunk on the bus told me how to get rich
G A Bm
I was glad we weren't going to far
[Verse 2]
Bm Bsus Bm
So I'm leaving on Wednesday morning
G A Bm
Trying to find a place where I can hear
Bm Bsus Bm
The wind and the birds and the sea on the rocks
G A Bm
And the open road is always near
A D
And if sometimes I tire of the quiet
Em7 F# (E7)
And I want to walk back up that hill
Bm G
I'll just get on the road and I'll stick out my thumb
A Bm
Cause I know for sure you'll be there still
[Chorus] (x2)
D A Bm
