Introdução:
A
living at the edge of the realm
B D
seems quite tempting to me,
A
far from the concrete and the sodium light
B D
and next to the emerald sea.
F#m
teacher's out of the room
B D
and the cat's away for a while
B D
wash out the culture and bring on the style.
F#m A B D
there's another country i've heard of long ago
F#m A B
so dear to them that love her
Dm
most great to them that know.
A
living at the edge of the realm,
B D
doing much more as you please.
A
watching the sunset over mallory square
B D
and supping on the juice of the keys.
F#m
and there's always that nagging sense
B D
that you're not just miles from home
A
'cos it might as well be light years,
B D
wrapped up in glitter and chilled to the bone.
E B F#m A E
so strange that i'm tempted to go to the edge
B F#m E
so strange, yet like the prodigal i go.
B F#m A E
and i'd have fallen had the world been flat,
B F#m
or did your hand hold on
D- Dm A
and keep me from the fall.
A
chosing to be outside the fold
B D
from kerry to kirkwall skies.
A
out on the edge,
trading love and the hearth,
B D
for the thrill and surprise.
F#m
yet i know another country,
B D
that's mapped within,
A
and it's always time to return there,
B D
no matter where i've been.
