Taking The Easy Way Home

Biography:

David Scobie was born in Dundee, Scotland in 1964. He was raised on traditional Scottish music which influenced his musical interest.

In 1973 he emigrated with his parents to Rhodesia and, by 1975, was appearing regularly at the Beverley Rocks Motel Folk Club in Salisbury. During this time he was further influenced by Zimbabwean folk singer, Iris Jones, as well as Neil Diamond.

As a result he started to write his own songs and approached Martin Norris at Shed Studios in Salisbury who facilitated a recording deal for him.

G C
Close your eyes, think a while

F C
Strangers saying goodbye
C
Guess what we have is over now
F C
Maybe we flew too high

I wont find it easy

I know you're leaving
C
will trouble me
G
But I've got a feeling
G
that maybe you really hurt

more than me

I know it might sound vain
F G
but really it's not that way
G
It's just that I've found my way ....

[Chorus]

Taking the easy way home ... OK
C F G
Taking the easy way home ... All right
C F
Taking the easy way home
G F G
'Cos I'll find another road

Another way to go

Find some other song to sing along the line

Going home ...

Taking the easy way home

Taking the easy way home
