Capo 2nd fret

[Intro]

D Em9 G

[Verse 1]

My brothers haven't written since they made for the coast

Em9 G

I hope that they have found the lives that they wanted most

I haven't ticked the days away, the past I can't retrace

Em9 G

But seven years is long enough to forget my face

D Em9 G

[Verse 2]

I walked along that mountainside to find a place to run

Em9 G

Footsteps on a broken fence toward salvation

Ask me what I'm searching for, a place to lay my head

Em9 G

Or fleeing from my mother's eyes, a morning sun red

[Verse 3]

Heathen circles round the fire burning aimless souls

Em9 G

Write a line to kill the time or tell us of your home

Of the life I can recall, a faint tinge of guilt

Em9 G D

How could I abandon them, the house my father built

[Bridge]

D Dm

I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home

Em G

Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on

D Dm

I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home

Em G

Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on

D Dm

I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home

Em G

Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on

D Dm

I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home

Em G D

Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on

[Verse 4]

The shoes I gave without the soles to some bearded folk

Em9 G

I tipped my cap to Adelaide and hung out the window

Screaming with the ocean's guide, I look to the sun

Em9 G

They'd give anything and everything to do what I had done

[Outro]

D Em9 G
