Key: D
Introduction:
D G
Ramadan is over, The new moon's shown her face,
A G A D
I'm halfway round the planet, In a most unlikely place.
D G
Following my song line, Past bamboo shacks and shops,
A G A D
Behind a gitney packed like sardines, With bananas piled on top,
D G A D
I ran away from politics, It's too bizarre at home,
A
Away I flew, tuned into Blue,
G A D
Maybe Amsterdam or Rome, Awakened by a stewardess,
G A
With Spain somewhere below, On the threshold of adventure,
G A D
God I do love this job so,
(chorus)
G D
So while I make my move,
A D
On the big board game,
G D
Up and down a Spanish highway,
A D
Some things remain the same,
G D A Bm
Girls meet boys, and the boys tease girls,
G D
I'm heading out this morning,
A D
For the Far Side of the World,
(verse 2)
G D A D
Caravan, Ride that hump,
G D A D
And Timbuktu's a jillion bumps,
G D
Sleeping bags and battle flags,
A Bm
Are coiled and furled,
G D
That's the way you travel,
A D
To the far side of the world,
(verse 3)
G D A D
Time to sing time to dance
G D A D
Living out my second chance.
G D A Bm
Cobras and sleeping bags are coiled and curled
G D
That's the way it happens
A D
On the Far Side of the World.
(verse 4)
G D
That's the way it happens
A D
On the Far Side of the World.
