A greener grass, a cooler shade,
CGDC
I have sought for, I’ve often fought for
CGEmBm
A higher hill and a fairer shore,
CGDC ////
I have cried for, almost died for
Em C D Em c D
So far have I traveled. So far have I traveled.
CGEmBm
A stronger hour, a deeper mind,
CGDC
I have strived for I’ve been alive for
CGEmBm
a lasting love and a quiet heart,
CGDCBm ////
I have wronged for, I’ve always longed for.
Em C D Em c D
So far have I traveled. So far have I traveled.
CGEmBm
And now I lie and looking back,
CGDC
I’m seeing hopes fading dreams growing distant
CGEmBm
My hands are worn, yet nothing hold
CGDCBm ////
as life like smoke curls through fingers.
So far have I traveled. So far have I traveled.
CGEmBm
And through the mist of bygone years,
CGDC
I sense the truth for all who travel
CGEmBm
And through the mist of bygone years,
CGD ////
I sense the truth for all who travel,
EmCDEm
If I go up to the heavens you are there.
EmCDEm
And if I make my bed in the depths you’ll be there
EmCDEm
If I rise on the wings of the dawn you’ll be there
EmCDEm
And if I settle on the far side of the sea you’ll be there
EmCDEm
Even there your hand will guide me even there,
EmCDEm
And lead me in the way of everlasting.
