Most, if not all, of Dougie's songs 
are played in open tunings on the 
guitar. I have transcribed this,
along with a few more of his songs, 
in standard tuning to allow for 
easier learning.

[Intro]
C#m B

[Verse]
E              B          E     
This is really not my home, Oh 
         A           E      B   E
where are you my love-ly Jen-ny?
               B        C#m A    
I'm afraid and all alone,   There
            B      E
 is no peace for me
E                            B   
And I'm sitting in the 
      E         A            E   
stran-ger's room, Playing at the 
     B   E
stran-ger's ta-ble
                  B        
Shining empty like the moon,   
C#m A                B      E
There's no peace for me

[Chorus]
    A      E        B        E   
But in the darkness struggle 
  A         E      B          
cold, I think a-bout a garden 
C#m
val-ley
E             B            E    
Gentle as the leaves unfold, 
         B             E
Singing out along the Tay
                  B    C#m  A    
Distant and so far away,    
           B       E
There's no peace for me

[Verse]
E                   B          E
I'm blinded by your city lights,
          A                  E 
 I wander through these fear-ful 
      B   E
pla-ces
                    B            
The colours fade to black and 
C#m A                B      E
white, There is no peace for me
E                            
And these are not the friends I 
B      E           A             
know, These are not their 
E       B   E
smi-ling fa-ces
                    B          C#m
A desert that no-one should know, 
  A                B      E
  There's no peace for me


[Chorus]
    A      E        B        E   
But in the darkness struggle 
  A         E      B          
cold, I think a-bout a garden 
C#m
val-ley
E             B            E    
Gentle as the leaves unfold, 
          B             E
Singing out along the Tay
                  B    C#m  A    
Distant and so far away,    
           B       E
There's no peace for me

[Verse]
E              B           E    
Now I know and feel it well, 
       A                E    
Poor immi-grants' deep sun-ken 
   B   E
fee-ling
                B           C#m  
Standing at the gates of Hell,   
A                B      E
There is no peace for me
E                       B         
Burned out by their mas-ter's 
 E       A           E        B   E
greed, Cruel exile trans-portation
                    B       C#m  
Robbed of every love and need,   
A                B      E
There is no peace for me


[Chorus]
    A      E        B        E   
But in the darkness struggle 
  A         E      B          
cold, I think a-bout a garden 
C#m
val-ley
E             B            E    
Gentle as the leaves unfold, 
          B             E
Singing out along the Tay
                  B    C#m  A    
Distant and so far away,    
           B       E
There's no peace for me
