Runaway Son  -  Mike Oldfield


INTRO: G    D G    D G D Em G D Em

VERSE 1:
C                      F      C
Good sister, won't you let me in?
       G                       C
I'm in need of some warmth and shelter
                                   F          C
It's a hard luck story, don't know where to begin
          G                       C
I've been riding on life's helter-skelter

BRIDGE:
G    D   Em                   G    D
Save me, Holy Mother, please, save me
Em               G
I got a heart of gold


CHORUS:
             C           D          Em
And for your love I'd go hungry and thirsty

There's still hope for the runaway son

C                  F      C
My good father, he say to me,
        G                 C
"Better come back to your senses
                              F      C
There's an empty bottle lying on the floor
         G                 C
And it's undermined your defenses"


BRIDGE:
G    D   Em                   G    D

Em               G
I got a heart of gold

I need a savior and you're the one

Good brother, show me how to get home
          G                           C
I've been walking in the backyard of Satan
                          F          C
I'm so stubborn that I'll never give in

But now my heart's cold and aching
