The Loneliest Place On The Map - Al Stewart (capo 3)
Am Bb+5(x13330)
This place is so far
Am Bb Dm
Away from what passes for civilized life
Am B Bb+5
No shops and no cars and no city lights
Am Bb+5
Just a river of stars
Am Bb Dm
Over the southernmost ocean so cold
Am B B#o7 (x34242)
A small group of rocks, seagulls and ice
Em Bm
Some ramshackle huts
Em Bm
A paper in French from long ago
Dm Am F#dim7(2x121x) E
A finger that juts out into the foam
Am Bb+5
No boats come this way
Am Bb Dm
A few expeditions that pass now and then
Am B Bb+5
They`ll be back someday but I don`t know when
Am Gm
It`s the loneliest place on the map
F E
Night time is utterly black
Dm C
I came here by some grave mishap
Bb+5 Am Bb Am Bb (instrumental verse)
And I can`t find my way, my way back
Em Bm
It`s all as remote
Em Bm
As the wintry smile that you gave
Dm Am
As you buttoned your coat
F#dim7 E
And love was erased
Am Bb+5
So this is goodbye
Am Bb Dm
I see you silently rowing away
Am B Bb+5
The desolate sky threatening rain
Am Gm
It`s the loneliest place on the map
F E
Night time is utterly black
Dm C
I came here by some grave mishap
Bb+5 Am Bb Am
And I can`t find my way, my way back
