SOL DO
Speeding like a man on the run
DO SOL DO SOL RE
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
SOL MIm
He is closer now, as the search is on
SOL DO

DO SOL DO SOL RE
Yes, there's that rugged hill and there's a boat on the river.
MIm MIm RE
And when the rain came down,
MIm REsus4 RE

DO SOL
"You must pay me now" (don't do it)
DO SI
And still that voice came from beyond: "whatever you do,
CHORUS
MIm RE MIm MIm RE MIm
Repeat intro
