Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Verse 1:
F#m       B                D
   It's okay, Dad, you can go
                       Bm
We're all here and we know

That you're traveling soon
     E                                   D
I've sung you all the songs that I can sing
        F#m                E              D
Mostly George Formby with none of the strings



🎸 Verse 2:
F#m           B                D
   It's funny where we can end up

A life in fields
               Bm
And now you're here

Not a blade of grass
E                            D
You were born in wild Australia
       F#m              E              D
Had to go a long way to be where you are


🎸 Verse 3:
F#m           B                   D
   I did this thing towards the end
                                        Bm
Where I put my head right against your head

And I just held it there
E                               D
Tried to store up every single vein
         F#m          E              D
Fixed in my mind for all tomorrow's days
    A         B        D
For all tomorrow's days

🎸 Verse 4:
F#m               B                   D
    And so to the last night of your stay

Waited up all night
                Bm
And watched you sleep

I've never done that before
        E
And you know what
                            D
It was the best night of my life
      F#m                          B          D
To be close to your dreams for the very first time


🎸 Verse 5:
F#m          B           D
    It was a gentle afternoon

I think Tuesday
              Bm
And there you lay

You were trying to die
   E                                  D
We opened up the window so you could fly
       F#m         E             D
Soar away into the rest of our lives
       A        B                D                 A
I just hope you made it past the hospital car park


🎸 Instrumental: 
A   B   D   A (x2)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh


🎸 Verse 6:
F#m       B             D
   In the middle of the night

Some years back
              Bm
You told your wife

That you could not sleep
    E                       D
You said you were scared to die
             F#m        E             D
But you were curious to see the other side
      A        B*
Well, now you know
D         A
Now you know

*can also play Bm instead, both work nicely
