CAPO: 2nd Fret

[VERSE 1:]
                   C
I don't believe in miracles, if it's all the same by you
   D         C        G
Your wishes would come true if I had my say
Em          G
Whether it's right or wrong
  C       D
The words of every song
 C      G
Remind us of a love we knew
   Am7        Bb    Am7     D  G
Where love should not go wrong, in yesterdays

[CHORUS:]
      Am    G
Hang on ye drifters now
    C     D   Em   D  G
You got so much to go and gamble on
         Am    G
Watch out for the shifting sand
  C      D G  C/G G C/G G
Wherever you may ramble


[VERSE 2:]
                 C
Even now, as I look back and see all that's come to pass
 D       C        G   Em
I can't remember how it was I got here
         G
Look around this place
     C       D
There's a smile on every face
   C        G
We're somewhere in the afterglow
  Am7       Bb     Am7       D   G
Out there among the stars, out there among the bars


[CHORUS:]
      Am    G
Hang on ye drifters now
    C     D   Em    D   G
You got places to go and people to meet

Watch out for the shifting tide
  C      D G  C/G G C/G G
Wherever you may travel

                   C
I know I should not complain, because life's been good to me
  D         C         G
It feels real good to be stranded on my own
Em        G
Be that as it may be
C       D
We are what we are
   C        G
I'll find you at the afterglow
  Am7       Bb    Am7     D  G
Out there among the stars of yesteryear

Hang on ye drifters now

You got places to go and people to meet
         Am    G
Watch out for the shifting tide
  C      D G  C/G G
