	  		Intro: 

Db B 

F#m                      B 
Ribbon of the river by my side 
                             F#     Bm B 
I walk the shore and watch it unwind 
    F#                                           B 
The railway tracks still leave a glimpse of the light 
                                    F#m     Bm 
From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind 


   F#m                Dbm            B 
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone 
   D               Dbm        F#m A    B 
And as soon as you've seen it it's gone 


D               F#m 
Secrets of the city 
D                 A 
Make an aching in my heart 
D                  F#m 
And the mysteries that tease me so 
   D                    Dbm     A       B 
I long to belong but I always have to go 


F#m                             B 
People stare and wonder why I stray 
                                 F#m      B 
They don't understand that wandering's my way 
    F#                                    B 
I'll never stop, though time's slipping away 
                                  F#m  B  
The elusive light, shining strange on my face 


D                   Dbm            B 
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone 
D                   Dbm            B 
And as soon as you've seen it, it's gone 


D                 F#m 
Secrets of the city 
D                     A 
Make an aching in my heart 
D                       F#m 
And the mysteries that tease me so 
                   A              E     B 
I long to belong, but I always have to go 


     D                E      Bm 
Hope ties me up with discontent 
     D         Dbm     Bm 
Since the day I first went 
F#m           Dbm     Bm 
Yearning to be back again 
D          E          Bm 
How will I return, and when? 


D               F#m 
Secrets of the city 
D                  A  
Make an aching in heart  
D                      F#m 
And the mysteries that tease me so 
             D            Dbm     E     B 
I long to belong but I always have to go
