#Negative Earth (Holroyd,Pritchard)
#
For fif[Am]ty-five days I've been fl[F]ying ar[Am]ound the world
Didn't an[G]ybody know, didn't a[E/G#]nyone suppose
That my l[Am]ife up here was s[Am/G]lowly drifting [D/F#]by
And a[F]ll I've got to do is sit and c[Am]ry
The E[Am]arth is so clear and it's si[F]mply a r[Am]each away
I just h[G]ad to laugh today for the n[E/G#]ews it seemed to say
That my l[Am]ife once full was s[Am/G]urely running d[D/F#]ry
I pra[F]yed a while but then I had to c[C]ry
Ch.
Look in my e[G]yes - I [D/F#]know
That [F]man is surely just a m[C]an
It's no su[G]rprise - I [D/F#]know
The r[F]oad is far too long
And l[Dm]ife too short to carr[C]y o[A#]n [F][Am]
For fi[Am]fty-five days I've been flyi[F]ng arou[Am]nd the world
Here in syn[G]copated time, while my t[E/G#]angled web of rhyme
Da[Am]ngles aimlessly, [Am/G]time drips slowly [D/F#]by
And a[F]ll I've got to do is sit and c[C]ry
Ch.
Barclay James Harvest.Everyone is everybody else.1974.
