(D major)
Verse 1
The (G major) wild
geese are (C major) dancing in (G major) the ripples of (D major) the (E minor) morn
My wanderlust (G major) is (E minor) formed
I've got (C major) to follow them
wherever (A minor) they may lead (D major)
For (G major) I am just a sailor (C major) on a
ship (G major) across (D major) the (E minor) land (G major)
Let me hold your hand (E minor)
To bid farewell (C major) so I can knuckle
(A minor) to my knees (D major) (B minor)
But I'll be back again no (E minor) matter where I go
For it's (A minor) only love that (D major) frees
the fire for burning (G major) (B minor)
Then I'll take you in my arms
and (E minor) tell you all I know
As I (A minor) sing the early song
(D major) of my return (E minor) ing
(A major) (A minor) (E minor)

Verse 2
(G major) The weary world is (C major) waiting
for ambi (G major) tion to (D major) be played (E minor)
Now young (G major) and not afraid (E minor)
I've got to (C major) challenge every
(A minor) chalice that I know (D major)
My (G major) eager ears are (C major) listening for the
singing (G major) of (D major) the sign (E minor) (G major)
Deeper are the lines (E minor)
Upon (C major) the face that finds reflec
tions (A minor) in the road (D major) (B minor)
Yes, I'll be back again
no (E minor) matter where I go
For it's (A minor) only love that (D major) frees
the fire for burning (G major) (B minor)
Then I'll take you in my arms
and (E minor) tell you all I know
As I (A minor) sing the changing song (D major) of
my (E minor) returning
Interlude 1
(A minor) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 3
My (G major) drifting days prepare (C major) me to do
(G major) battle with (D major) the (E minor) night
A phantom (G major) of the fight (E minor)
I've got (C major) conquer all the
(A minor) courage of my fears (D major)
The (G major) answer lies in (C major) limbo(?) and
the harvest (G major) will (D major) be (E minor) hard
But (G major) sacred are the scars (E minor)
That leave (C major) their mark on the
(A minor) fast disolving years (D major) (B minor)
Yes, I'll be back again
no (E minor) matter where I go
For it's (A minor) only love that (D major) frees
the fire for burning (G major) (B minor)
Then I'll take you in my arms
and (E minor) tell you all I know
As I (A minor) sing the growing song (D major) of my
return (B minor) ing (A minor)
(E minor) (G major)
Verse 4
(G major) Time must have her (C major) victory
It's (G major) that I've always (D major) (E minor) known
But I (G major) won or lost alone (E minor)
And when a (C major) voice calls out "there's
someone (A minor) you must meet" (D major)
With (G major) every strength remain (C major) ing
I will suffer (G major) one (D major) more scene (E minor)
I'll (G major) gather all my dreams (E minor)
And with my (C major) final breath
I'll (A minor) lay them at your feet. (D major) (B minor)
Yes, I'll be back again
no (E minor) matter where I go
For it's (A minor) only love that (D major) frees
the fire for burning (G major) (B minor)
Then I'll take you in my arms
and (E minor) tell you all I know
As I (A minor) sing the (C major) final (A minor) song (D major) of my (E minor) returning
