Tabbed by: Sebastian Manke
Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
[Intro]
D Dsus4 D Dsus4(2X)
D E
The early light is breaking,
Em A Bm
The morning sun is waiting in the sky.
E A/A7
And I think I'm gonna break away,
D E A A7
And follow where the birds of freedom fly.
D D7
I need to give,
G E
I need to live;
D
For the world is slowly turning,
Em A/A7 D
And the lights of love are burning in my eyes.
[Refrain]
D
Caravans,
D7 G
Oh, my soul is on the run,
Em D A
Overland, I am flying;
D
Caravans,
D7 G
Moving out into the sun,
Em A G A/A7 D
Oh, I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going
D E
I wish I had the wisdom
Em A Bm
To find some simple words to make you see,
E A/A7
That the things that mean a lot to you
D E A A7
Don't always seem to mean a lot to me
D D7
I need to breathe,
G E
I need to leave;
D
When the sands of time go drifting by
Em A/A7 D
I may be on my own, but I'll feel free
[Refrain](2x)
