            F     G                   C
I'm a world away, right outside your window
      F                        C                        G
I got money in my pocket and I Brought a nice bottle of wine
                   F     G             C
I think I'm on the list, do you see my name there?
            F                     G                       C
I've come a long hard way and I'm lookin' for a better time
          G
Oh well I tried to get over and I tried to get across
        F                            C
Now I'm standin' at the door but the door is locked
      G
I can see those pretty gals dosey-doe
      F                        G
I can hear that music from the radio

I'm a world away
                F
Standin' at the gates

Hey it's a real nice place, do you need some help here?
      F                         C                G
I can sweep, I can paint, I can play a little violin
                   F   G                   C
If you let me stay, oh you won't need to worry
            F                        G                   C
I'll be the life of the party if you just let me slip on in
           G
Oh well, I wade in the river and I marched through the sand
      F                            C
Now I standin' at the gates of the Promised Land
           G
Oh but you say that you gotta leave 'em locked up tight
       F                               G
If you please, mister, I can sleep out here tonight

How can you know the hard times I've had?
     F
Kept waiting and almost left for dead
        Am
I got a needle streakin' in my veins
             G
I've come to sew a bright new star on the face of your flag
            F       G                   C
I'm a world away, right outside your window

I think I'm on the list, do you see my name there?
