[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _
[Em] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
With a dark and [Em] rolling sea between my true love and me, [G] I keep walking through this cold heart. _ _
While I wait for [Em] better days, I could use a place to stay, or a [G] floor where I could lay my blood. _ _
_ If I could beg, steal, or borrow a [C] ticket [G] on some ship or [D] a plane,
[Em] _ I'd be leaving [G] London _ _ to [C] fly [G] to my own _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
land.
Up at dawn to change my shirt and to wash away the dirt, then it's over to [A] America.
[G] _ _ _
Not one letter [Em] did I find, [G] though she didn't send [Em] one line, [G] though I know she has my forwarding address. _
_ [C] If I could beg, [G] steal, or borrow a [C] ticket on some ship [G] or a [D]
plane,
[G] I'd be leaving London to _ _
_ [C] fly to my [G] own land. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Last night the troubadour was so full they [Em] barred the door, [G] and I sang a song she [D] knows [G] quite well. _
But it wouldn't take too long to make up another song for a lonesome man, a last farewell. _ _
[C] If I could beg, steal, [G] or borrow _ a ticket [C] [G] on some ship or a plane,
[D] _
_ [Em] I'd be leaving London [G] to _ _ [C] fly to my [G] own love again. _
