STORNOWAY - FUEL UP
Having listened to the live version quite a few times now, I still cant discern
some of the chords, possibly due to a non-standard so these are simply
approximations. Please feel free to post an edited version if you cant stand any
minute inaccuracies!
Enjoy what is a very beautiful song.

E
Curled up in the back of the car,
E
9 years old you dont know where you are
A
And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed,
A
Theres a voice in the front and a hush on the road,
EE6E6
You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on
EE6
Open your eyes and you're nine years older,
EE6
Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over
AA6
to lie with your first love, you cant wait to see her,
AA6
You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver,
BB6
But now you're the passenger to your own heart
BA
and it takes you travelling, travelling on,
E, E6, E, E6
EE6
When that moring broke and the sky fell down,
EE6
it went black as night, and the wind blew round,
AA6
And stole your directions, you lost your way home,
Amaj7A6
and you felt like a passenger left by the road.
EE6
Well I'll tell you the reason you couldnt get home
EE6
'cos its nowhere you been, and it's nowhere you're going,
AA6
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind,
Amaj7A6
From the people you love and you travel beside,
F#m
You may feel like a passenger, now you're the driver,
B
you've got to go travelling, travelling on.
F#m
If you break down,
BB7
Its a cold, hard shoulder
CHORUS
EA
So fuel up your mind,
EA
And fire up your heart,
EF#m
And drive on,
AB
Drive on, drive on,
EA
And when your days are darker,
EA
Put your foot down harder,
F#mB
Drive on, drive on.
E, E6 , E E6, A, A6, A, A6,
EE6
And it's nine more years you've been driving now,
EE6
but tonight you're stumbling through your own town
AA6
You met up with a school friend who's still just the same,
AA6
And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days,
EE6E6
and now you;re drunk and you're sad for the old times passing you by,
BRIDGE
C#m
Well theres no rewind so you might as well play,
E
While your time is rolling away.
F#m
Get back on the road,
Its a beautiful day,
AA6
Pick up all the friends you can find on the way
F#mC#m
And if you lose direction they'll be there biding you on,
B
binding you, biding you on,
A
Cos' we're all going the same way
B
Down this long road,
A
Yes were all bound the same way,
B
Down this long, long road,
CHORUS 2
EA
So fuel up your mind,
EA
And fire up your heart,
E
And drive on,
AB
Drive on, drive on,
EA
And when your days are darker,
EA
Put your foot down harder,
F#mB7
Drive on, fuel up,
F#mB7
And drive on, fuel up,
F#mAE
And drive on, drive on.
