Biography:
Al Stewart (born in Glasgow, Scotland on 5 September 1945) is a British songwriter and musician. He is best known for his 1976 single Year of the Cat and its 1978 follow-up Time Passages (both produced by Alan Parsons). Stewart's inspiration for his songs primarily comes from the past; indeed, he is credited with creating his own genre, "historical folk rock". At one time in his life, Stewart took guitar lessons from King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp.

Intro:
Dm7 C Dm7 x2
Gm7 Am7 Dm7 x2
Dm7 C Bb
You've got your ticket and your hotel keys
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
And your overnight bag at your feet
Dm7 C Bb
YOu're looking down on the tropical trees
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
While the Spanish maids pick up the sheets
F C F C
Conquistador in search of gold
Dm7 Bb Gm7
For all the jack-daw reasons
Dm7 C Bb
The Midas shadow that's so hard to please
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
Follows wherever you go.
Gm7 Am Dm7 x2
Dm7 C Bb
Nothing ventured, nothing gained they said
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
So you played for the winner takes all
Dm7 C Bb
And tossed the dice high up and craned your head
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
To see how the numbers would fall
F C F C
You stole the game so easily
Dm7 Bb Gm7
Your luck ran with the seasons
Dm7 C Bb
But still the shadow that the night won't free just
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
Follows wherever you go.
Gm7 Am Dm7 x2

Another day, another boarding card,
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
As you wait for your seat on the 'plane
Dm7 C Bb
The movie runs but you're still working hard
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
And you don't touch your food or champagne
F C F C
I know that when your well runs dry
Dm7 Bb Gm7
Yuu'll want to know the reason
Dm7 C Bb
The empty night will bring you no reply
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
As it follows wherever you go.
