Rab Noakes - A Question Of Travelling
## NOTE: ~ = Bass Walk-Down from G to Em ##
[INTRO:] G
[VERSE 1:]
Am
Every day I arrive I have to (watch/wash)
D7 G
No matter where I might be
Am
But there's no longer the thrill of new people to meet
D7 G
Or of new places to see
[CHORUS:]
C D G ~ Em Am
And there's only one place in this world that I belong
D G
And that's where I want to go and stay
C D G ~ Em
For a few years ago, I've been on this road so long
Am D G
And I'm still here, on this road today
[VERSE 2:]
Am
I've been travelling this road up and down and I'm tired
D7 G
I'm thinking that it doesn't have an end
Am
But I like to think that I have friends who need me
D7 G
Every bit as much as I need friends
[CHORUS:]
C D G ~ Em Am
And there's only one place in this world that I belong
D G
And that's where I want to go and stay
C D G ~ Em
For a few years ago, I've been on this road so long
Am D G
And I'm still here, on this road today
[VERSE 3:]
Am
In changing my misery for laughter
D7 G
I sometimes lose track of just what's real
Am
But you don't have to be alone to be lonely
D7 G
And loneliness is sad company
[CHORUS:]
C D G ~ Em Am
And there's only one place in this world that I belong
D G
And that's where I want to go and stay
C D G ~ Em
For a few years ago, I've been on this road so long
Am D G
And I'm still here, on this road today
[VERSE 4:]
Am
Now, all of you who are my friends
D7 G
I'll be seeing you somewhere before long
Am
But I've always thought that giving was just as good as taking
D7 G
But sometimes it seems I may be wrong
[CHORUS:]
C D G ~ Em Am
And there's only one place in this world that I belong
D G
And that's where I want to go and stay
C D G ~ Em
For a few years ago, I've been on this road so long
Am D G
And I'm still here, on this road today
Am D C G
Yes, I'm still here, on this road today___
