 I know who you are I've been learning

(Barre 9)

All right, so now we know which way the wind's gonna blow

(Barre 9)

Let's get up and go, no returning

(Solo)

Repeat intro

Pack up your sorrow, put away your evening star

But don't change your clothes, I like you just the way you are

(Barre 9)

I know you've been sleeping under a big black cloud

 And you never been allowed to be honest

(Barre 9)

Well I'm no saint but I'll carry you home

  (Barre 9)

There's a place of your own if you want it

Where the waves of the world would be the one and only company

(Barre 9)

 It's running a-ground, it's all over

(Barre 9)

But those flying fishes are gonna jump up and smile

 Every league, every mile, to terra nova
