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?
