♫ Verse 1:
   D
Outside the dogs are barking
                                            A
And the morning sun is breaking through the trees
G
My heart is feeling heavy
     Bm            D              A
As I listen to the moaning of the breeze

Nukkanya, baby, I really don't want to leave

♫ Verse 2:
D
There's a ticket in my pocket
                                 A
But I'd toss it if I only had my way
G                     D
And a suitcase in the hallway
Bm               D               A
I wish I could unpack it now and stay
G               A                      D
Nukkanya, baby, I'm gonna be back some day

Bm       A  G

Don't it go to show what a man don't know

♫ Verse 3:
D
My land was once a river
                                 A
I hate to see it slowly bleeding dry
G                  D
My love is like an eagle
Bm              D               A
High across the desert she will fly
G               A                   D
Nukkanya, baby, I'll see you by and by
