G C D GG C D G [Verse]C Young boy on the waterfrontD Looking out at the seaD Ships in the distanceG Where he longs to be [Verse]G Throw a stone in the waterC D Watch the ripples disappearD Ride the waves to AfricaG With the wind in your hairC D The wind in your hairG The wind in your hair [Verse]G There's a map up on a space in the wallC And he stares at it through the nightContinues after the adD He dreams across continentsG Following the light [Verse]G Onward to the west he rovesC D Searching out the sunD When he comes full circleG He swings around againC D He swings around againG He swings around again [Instrumental]G C D GG C D G [Verse]G And the father sees a young boyC Who wears a man's disguiseD He knows that far-off freedom lookG That flashes in his eyes [Verse]G For he wore that look in younger daysC When he was still a sonD And he knows that he will never seeG When the boy becomes the manC D The boy becomes the manG The boy becomes the man [Verse]G And the road goes ever onwardC D So, take it while you canD When you've done with travellingG Come home again my sonC D Home again my sonG Home again my son
