Intro:  G6  D2  G6  D2  G6  D2  G6  D2

And you know it's time to go
        G6                   D2
through the sleet and driving snow
                 G6                D2
across the fields of mourning to a
           G6
light's in the distance
D2             G6       D4 D2

And you hunger for the time
time to heal, 'Desire', time
and your earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape

G      G2 G   G2            D2 D4 D Gii
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run________
G             G2   G        G2
I'll be there, I'll be there
       D2  D4           D                Gii
tonight, a high road, a high road out of here

the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance

And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it's own

G6                 D2           G6                 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I  hmm hmm
G6                 D2           G6                 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I

G      G2 G   G2            D2       D4               D                     G
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run, and still we run, we run and don't look back
G             G2   G        G2                D2  D4   D     D4

                   G6
The wind will crack in wintertime
D2            G6
this bomb-blast lightning waltz
D2        G6            D2  G6        D4  D   G   G2     G   G2
no spoken words, just a scream . . . yeah.... oh........ oh.....
  D2          D4        D                     Gii
tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
G              G2
see the sky burning rain
   G                 G2           D2  D4 D Gii  G6  D2  G6  D4 D  G6  D2  G6  D4 D
she will die and live again tonight_______

And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home
