The Mile

	  		

C                    Em 
I had never seen the snow 
Am 
Never sailed upon the seas 
Fmaj7               C 
I was busy making plans 
                             G    C/G       
To build a fortress in the trees 

C            Em 
I'd ride my bicycle 
Am               
Down the lane and back again 
Fmaj7            C 
Talking to the birds 
                     G   C/G 
And my imaginary friends 

C                   Em 
And I'd want to run away 
Am                
Go as far as I could see 
Fmaj7                C 
But I'd always turn around 
                 G 
To find familiarity 
                      C 
Right where it should be 


C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 


C      Em 
Oh, my love 
Am 
Is there hope for yesterday? 
Fmaj7                   C 
Cause I'm following my heart 
                     G     C/G 
And it's taking me away 

C           Em 
I am moving on 
Am 
I do not know where I will go 
Fmaj7                    C 
But I'm beckoned by the sky 
                     G     C/G 
In the river down below 

C                          Em 
I've only got one pair of shoes 
Am 
Comforting these weary feet 
Fmaj7                     C 
Cause a man who owns too much 
                           G 
Is like a song without a beat 
                     C     
Left feeling incomplete 


C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  Am                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  F                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C    G  Am                    C 
I'll be gone running on the mile 
C     G F                   C 
Oh my Lord running on the mile
