Key: C

Introduction: C    B    Am    G    F    C    C    

                             C                                 B                            Am                    G  
I finished writing this song in the summer
                        F                                                              C  
Now I'm watching the snow flakes fall
                     C                    B              Am              G  
As the years go by I wonder if I
                     F                                      G  
Really like it here at all
        C                                                      C7  
I woke this morning in a strange town
             F                                                                 Dm  
The truth is I thought I'd be dead by now
                          C                            G                                      Am              G  
I guess I'll keep on going till they find me out
             F                 G                 C  
With love from Halcyon
verse 2
                        C                 B                      Am                 G  
And I'm glad I stayed out drinking
                        F                                      C  
Put some medicine in my mind
        C                            B                         Am                    G  
To distract me from this grain of sand
                  F                                                            G  
In the middle of space and of time
             C                                              C7  
This morning my head is losing the war
                F                                              Dm  
It's cold outside as I walk out the door
             C                      G                                      Am                      G  
And I get the feeling this has happened before
             F            G            C  
With love from Halcyon
                          F                              C  
And I can feel myself disappearing
                  Am            G              F  
In the early morning sun
                Am                                 G                    F  
And I fade with the road I'm walking on
                Am                 G              C  
With love from Halcyon
verse 3
                          C                                 B                 Am                    G  
As the morning breaks over Southampton
                        F                                                              C  
I'm wondering how long and how far
                     C                    B              Am              G  
Still thinking about that old friend
                  F                                                            G  
As the waitress trips on my guitar
             C                                              C7  
See he stopped singing songs and he moved away
                                        F                                              Dm  
Heard he's picking apples down near Rattlesnake bay
                        C                      G                                 Am                 G  
I can picture him now singing "Lowlands away"
             F            G            C  
With love from Halcyon
             C                 B            Am                    G  
I remember early evening
                                F                                 C  
First time summer showed her face
             C            B                         Am                    G  
We sat outside with a GB and wine
                  F                                                            G  
Talking about the good old days
                          C                                                 C7  
When we woke up in Paris all covered in dust
                        F                                                              Dm  
And the man on the boat pulled a knife on us
             C                      G                    Am                      G  
If time is money then money isn't much
                F                 G              C  
With love from Halcyon
                          F                      C  
And I can feel us disappearing
                  Am            G              F  
In the early morning sun
                Am                         G                    F              C  
For we were just dead men walking
                Am                 G              C  
With love from Halcyon
                  C                      B                                      Am                    G  
Well many years gone I've been travelling on
                        F                                                              C  
Searching across this land
                     C                    B                                         Am                      G  
Now I don't know what I've been looking for yet
                  F                                                            G  
Hope someday I'll understand
                                C                                                      C7  
I'm just a copy of a copy my own version of time,
                F                                                                    Dm  
I'll never see yours and you'll never see mine
                                     C                                 G                            Am                            G  
But we still see the same sunsets and walk the same lines
                F                 G              C  
With love from Halcyon
                             C                                 B                    Am                    G  
Started writing this song in the winter,
                        F                                                              C  
Now I'm watching the spring blossom fall
                     C                    B                                                    Am                            G  
Tell me how can the difference between hours and years
                          F                                                 G  
Feel so endless and yet so small
             C                                              C7  
I left that house about 4 this morning
                F                                                         Dm  
And I got a feeling they'll carry on going
                                C                                    G                                      Am                         G  
Till the cigarettes freeze over and the whisky stops flowing
                                F                                            G  
They'll be singing "Lowlands away"
                     F                                    G  
And if Halcyon is the days gone by
             C                      B                            Am  
And she is the one that I love
                     F                                                                 G  
And if now is the place that I'm supposed to be
                     Am            G         F  
Then it isn't long enough
                F                                                      G  
For someday soon I'll be a photograph
                  C                 B                         Am  
Underneath my grandson's bed
             Dm  
But I heard there's
        G  
A universe somewhere
                                C  
WHere this song
                     B  
Wasn't written
Am              G  
Yet
                          F                              C  
So if you feel yourself disappearing
                  Am            G              F  
In the early morning sun
                Am                                 G                    F  
Just smile and keep on walking
                Am                 G              C  
With love from Halcyon
                Am                 G                    C  
With love from Halzephron
