Country Mile

Intro: E, C, D x3

E                              C
I've walked in the fields, and I?ve trod light for days
D                           Bm     D     G6     E
Seems I?ll do that old rag, takes me all kinds of ways
E                              C
Except the way I?d be headed if I knew where I was going
D                     Bm     D     G6     E
But I?m from the country, and it?s better not knowing

C           B7         E      E7        E
And I?ve only got so near (Illuminate me)
C           B7         E      E7       E
And I?ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)
C           B7          D  G6     A          Asus2
And I?ll walk another country mile
E
I?ll see another star

Repeat intro

The poplars, and willows, and birds pass me by
The mould of the earth to the space in the sky
Free from my roots and I?m lost in the wind
Wind on the mountain, and the mountain?s my friend

And I?ve only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I?ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I?ll walk another country mile
I?ll see another star

Hemlock and yew have me toeing the line
Questions come knocking, I?ll answer in time
But the seams of the soil unravel with ease
Nose to the road and I?m painfully free

And I?ve only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I?ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I?ll walk another country mile
I?ll see another star

C            G6
Call me the wind in the hole
D                  E       D
Blowing my way to the call
E                   D                G6
I?ll dust up the days 'til I?ve gone every way
D                             C  G  C  G     C
No less and I?ve never wanted mo-re, mo-re, mo-re

Lost on the bough in a golden refrain
Sleep goes away and the day comes again
But the rain on my cap has me chasing a roof
I?ll be this young choice 'til I?m long in the tooth

And I?ve only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I?ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I?ll walk another country mile
I?ll see another star

And I?ve only got so near (Illuminate me)
And I?ve only gone so far (Illuminate me)
And I?ll walk another country mile
I?ll see another star
