Intro: ( Am  C  G  E  E7  Am  F ) 

 Am                     C     G  E  E7         Am       F 
I've been travelling a long time to be just a-where you are 
Am                C    G  E    E7         Am   F 
In dreams I have seen you but you are so very far 

 
 C                F     C  E  E7         Am       F 
How long must I travel on, to be just a-where you are? 
 C                F    C   E  E7         Am       F 
How long must I travel on, to be just a-where you are? 


F    C F  C 
I was your friend,        I was a  fool 
F   F/E     Am                    F   E 
I feel for you though we're far apart 
F    C  F    C 

I see your face,       lost without trace 
F  F/E      Am                    F  E 
I see your mind, drift in empty space 
Am           C       G 
Mindless child of motherhood 
E          E7       Am          F 
You have lost the thing that's good 
Am           C      G 
Mindless child of motherhood 
E          E7       Am          F 
You have lost the thing that's good 

( F  C  F   C ) 
( F  C  F   C  F G Am F E ) 

Am           C     G    E   E7      Am     F 
I know that it's unfair to bear a bastard son 
Am              C    G    E   E7              Am      F 
But why do you hide babe when we could have shared a love?
