[Intro]
C Em D A (yes, it's that simple)
[Verse]
C Em D A
I'm a snow plough
C Em D A
I must now plough on
C Em D A
I'm a snow plough
C Em D A
I'm a settler's son
C Em D A
I'm a storm cloud
C Em D A
Rain myself all over the place
C Em D A
I'm a storm cloud
C Em D A
wipe that smile right off your face
[Verse]
C Em D A
there must be one place left in the world
C Em D A
where the mountains meet the sea
C Em D A
there must be one place left in the world
C Em D A
where the water's real and clean
[Verse]
C Em D A
I'm a landslide
C Em D A
I'm a downhill run
C Em D A
I'm a landslide
C Em D A
open season's just begun
[Verse]
C Em D A
there must be one place left in the world
C Em D A
where the skin says it can breath
C Em D A
there must be one place left in the world
C Em D A
it's a solitude, distance and relief
C Em D A
there's gotta be one place left in the world
[Verse]
C Em D A
I'm a snow plough
C Em D A
there has to be one place left in the world
C Em D A
I'm a snow plough
C Em D A
one place, one place left in the world
C Em D A
I'm a short fuse, I'm a slow blues
C Em D A
I'm a landslide hummin', I'm a downhill runnin'
C Em D A
there must be one place left in the world
C Em D A
where we can be
