Back Home In Aberdeen
INTRO:  E   F#   B   E  B  
BTen year have passed in Ewhat seems like a Bminute
Just a restless boy intent on having F#fun
Now I Bstep down from the Ebus beside my old Bschool
A wiser man now F#that the journey's Bdone.
	I've learnt silence Efrom those that speak their mindB  
	I've learnt kindnesEs from those wBho are unkindF#  
	I've travelled round tBhe world in search Eof what I BneedE  
	Found it all waiF#ting back home in Aberdeen.B  
Refrain:  E   F#   B   E  B  
The river's lullaby that once subdued me
And the buzzing hills that improvised a wall
Are sweet now I no longer seek an answer
To the self-imposing saddest songs of all
	And from that bitter root there grows a vine
	That shows regret for wasted years is wasted time
	I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen
Solo:  F#   B   F#   B   E   B   F#   B  
Opaque clouds unmask a worried old face
But the images dissolve behind a tree
Unafraid of change and happy now in small ways
There is now as there always was, just me.
	And though the future is far off this much I know
	Nothing’s as far away as one minute ago
	I've travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen
I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need
	Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen
Refrain:  E   F#   B   E  B

Ten year have passed in what seems like a minute

Just a restless boy intent on having fun

A wiser man now that the journey's done.

I've learnt silence from those that speak their mind

Refrain:

The river's lullaby that once subdued me

And the buzzing hills that improvised a wall

Are sweet now I no longer seek an answer

To the self-imposing saddest songs of all

And from that bitter root there grows a vine

That shows regret for wasted years is wasted time

I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need

Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

F# B F# B E B F# B

Solo:

Opaque clouds unmask a worried old face

But the images dissolve behind a tree

Unafraid of change and happy now in small ways

There is now as there always was, just me.

And though the future is far off this much I know

Nothing’s as far away as one minute ago

I've travelled round the world in search of what I need

Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need

Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen
