Far Country by Mike Oldfield (Vocals by Mark Williamson)
Capo: 2nd Fret
G D Em
She takes the rain, and turns it to sun,
C D G
And my soul, she fills it.
G D Em
Where once was a desert, rivers now run
C D G
And my storm, she stills it.
G D
She takes the rain.
CHORUS
G C D Em C D - G
She breathes the air from a far country.
C D Em C D
This bond survives like a tall, tall tree.
G C D Em C D
I close my eyes and how far I see....
G D
She takes the rain.
G D Em
She gives me hope when there's nothing but pain,
C D G
I can't explain it.

Two different leaves, but the branch is the same,
C D G
Forever, let it be....

She takes the rain.
