Somewhere in America (Eric Bogle)
D-G-D- A7 - D (CAPO1)
D G D A
1. Across the North Dakota hills the twilit road unwinds,
D G D A7 D
the setting sun sprays showers of gold across the dark green pines.
D G D A
The evening shadows change from grey to an ever deepening blue,
D G D A7 D
and I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you.
+ D-G-D- A7 - D
D G D A
2. With sixteen towns behind me now, and sixteen more to go,
D G D A7 D
I’ve long since stopped believing in the romance of the road.
D G D A
Though friends and kind hearts wait for me in the town I’m heading to,
D G D A7 D
And I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you.
D G A7 D
And the road goes on and on and on,
D G A7 D
the road goes on and o….n and on.
D G D A
3. And here and there along the road, welcoming and bright,
D G D A7 D
the lights from home and farmstead pierce the dark Dakota night.
D G D A
Their brightness shines on others’ lives, their welcome’s for their own,
D G D A7 D
and I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from home.
+ D-G-D- A7 - D
D G D A
4. But, well, you know, I love this life, the endless road’s the stage,
D G D A7 D
that music’s a fever in the blood, a wild bird in the cage.
D G D A
You and I let that wild bird fly, its bright dreams to pursue,
D G D A7 D
Now I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you.
D G A7 D
And the road goes on and on and on,
D G A7 D
and the road goes on and o….n and on.
D G D A
5. Across the North Dakota hills the twilit road unwinds,
D G D A7 D
the setting sun sprays showers of gold across the dark green pines.
D G D A
The evening shadows change from grey to an ever deepening blue,
D G D A7 D
and I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you.
D G D A7 G - D
Yes, I’m somewhere in America, half a world away from you.
