Danny's made his mind up   He's leaving for America
GHe's leaving for America   LCeaving all of us behind
 G                                               D
He says there's nothing here not drenched in beer   In blood and retribution
And the wealth distribution's     Been weighing heavy on his mind
And he knows that he'll regret the leaving      Knows that he will pine for grieving
                                               Em  Em(7b)
For the Sky road by the singing sea            And all of us behind
        C                 G                                    D
Danny looks so lovely            Working in the fields
Or dancing like a wild one       Sparks flying round his heels
But his friends are all gone before him      From the sacred ground that bore them
Now they wonder does she scorn them       For giving up the land
And they know that they'll regret the leaving      Know that they will pine for grieving
For the Sky road by the singing sea          And all of us behind
And I wonder does he know I love him      All below and none above him
As I sit here by the singing sea            Alone and left behind
Solo
Danny's made his mind up           He's leaving for America
He's leaving for America             Leaving all of us behind
And I wonder does he know I love him       All below and none above him
As I sit here by the singing sea         Alone and left behind
And I wonder does he know I love him      All below and none above him
As I sit here by the singing sea          Alone and left behind
Danny's made his mind up           He's leaving for America
He's leaving for America             Leaving all of us behind

Danny looks so lovely Working in the fields

Or dancing like a wild one Sparks flying round his heels

But his friends are all gone before him From the sacred ground that bore them

Now they wonder does she scorn them For giving up the land

And they know that they'll regret the leaving Know that they will pine for grieving

For the Sky road by the singing sea And all of us behind

And I wonder does he know I love him All below and none above him

As I sit here by the singing sea Alone and left behind

Solo

Danny's made his mind up He's leaving for America

He's leaving for America Leaving all of us behind

And I wonder does he know I love him All below and none above him

As I sit here by the singing sea Alone and left behind

And I wonder does he know I love him All below and none above him

As I sit here by the singing sea Alone and left behind

Danny's made his mind up He's leaving for America

He's leaving for America Leaving all of us behind
