Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(without string held throughout song)

I need my conscience to keep watch over me

To protect me from myself

So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head

C/G Cm C/G D (quick move to back Asus before switching back to C/G throughout song)

When I walk into the promised land

We've been too long American dreaming

And I think we've all lost the way

Forlorn somnambulistic

maniacal in the dark

I'm in love with an American girl

Well she's my best friend

I love her surreptitious smile

That hides the pain within her

And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter

And live along by the shores

Forlorn in the rounds of raputurous

live along for the loss ( my best guess on lyrics)

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows

Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows

How long how long?

Forlorn in the rounds of allegiance

says we've left behind ( again best guess!)

Turned back by the foot of the doorway

Never lost and found

We've been too long American dreaming

I think we've all lost the heart

Forlorn somnambulistic

maniacal in the dark

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows

Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows

How long how long?
