Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
D Em9 G
D Em9 G
[Verse 1]
D
My brothers haven't written since they made for the coast
Em9 G
I hope that they have found the lives that they wanted most
D
I haven't ticked the days away, the past I can't retrace
Em9 G
But seven years is long enough to forget my face
D Em9 G
D Em9 G
[Verse 2]
D
I walked along that mountainside to find a place to run
Em9 G
Footsteps on a broken fence toward salvation
D
Ask me what I'm searching for, a place to lay my head
Em9 G
Or fleeing from my mother's eyes, a morning sun red
[Verse 3]
D
Heathen circles round the fire burning aimless souls
Em9 G
Write a line to kill the time or tell us of your home
D
Of the life I can recall, a faint tinge of guilt
Em9 G D
How could I abandon them, the house my father built
[Bridge]
D Dm
I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home
Em G
Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on
D Dm
I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home
Em G
Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on
D Dm
I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home
Em G
Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on
D Dm
I'm alone, I'm alone, severed growth, a mortal home
Em G D
Vagaband won't you carry on, vagabond would you carry on
[Verse 4]
D
The shoes I gave without the soles to some bearded folk
Em9 G
I tipped my cap to Adelaide and hung out the window
D
Screaming with the ocean's guide, I look to the sun
Em9 G
They'd give anything and everything to do what I had done
[Outro]
