living at the e[A]dge of the realm
seems quite te[B]mpting to m[D]e,
far from the conc[A]rete and the sodium light
and next [B]to the emerald sea[D].
teacher's[F#m] out of the room
and the cat's away for a [B]whil[-]e[D]
and it's drin[A]k, drink to get drunk time:
wash out the cultu[B]re and bring on the sty[D]le.
t[F#m]here's another cou[A]ntry i'[B]ve heard of long a[D]go;
[F#m]so dear to them that lo[A]ve her[B];
most great to them that kn[Dm]ow.
living at the e[A]dge of the realm,
doing much mor[B]e as you p[D]lease.
watching the suns[A]et over mallory square
and s[B]upping on the juice of the [D]keys.
and there'[F#m]s always that nagging sense
that you're not just miles from[B] hom[-]e[D]
'cos it mi[A]ght as well be light years,
wrapped up in gl[B]itter and chilled to the bo[D]ne.
so[E] strange[B] t[F#m]hat i'm temp[A]ted to go to the edge;[E]
so strange,[B] yet [F#m]like the prodigal i go.[E]
and i'd have fall[B]en had[F#m] the wo[A]rld been flat[E],
or di[B]d your hand hol[F#m]d on
and keep me[D] f[-]ro[Dm]m the fall.[A]
chosing to be o[A]utside the fold
from kerry [B]to kirkwall skies.[D]
out on the edge,[A]
trading love and the hearth,
for the th[B]rill and surprise.[D]
yet i know [F#m]another country,
that's mapped wit[B]hin[-],[D]
and it's always time to re[A]turn there,
no matter wher[B]e i've been.[D]
