[Verse 1]
Am                   C            
I once set out for a faraway coast
 G                 G            
 drawn by tales of mountains of 
Am        Am
gold.
    Am                     C   
The stars were silent, the waves 
                     G             
were rough and the mountains I 
         G          Am        Am
found were barren and cold.

[Chorus]
        C                    G    
Now the light is fading, the day 
               C                   
is done and the road’s got me down 
     G
to my knees.
  C                   G           
I lift my head to the bloodred sky
     Am           G      
 and long for the smile of 
  F    C        C
Mary-Louise.

[Verse 2]
Am                  C            
I was sent off to a faraway war, 
G                       G         
led to believe it would set us all
 Am        Am
 free.

  Am                      C       
I fell in and followed, I carried 
          G                 G     
my weight until one day the truth 
       Am        Am
hit on me.

[Chorus]
    C                      G      
Now nothing can comfort my 
           C                     G
troubled mind, no prayer will cure 
my disease.
  C                   G           
I turn my eyes to the empty sky 
  Am           G       
and long for the arms of 
F    C        C
Mary-Louise.

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Am                      C        
Sometimes I think of my faraway 
            G                   
home where I know every crack in 
G         Am        Am
every old stone.
        Am                        
Where I traded my treasures for a 
C                   G            
long lost dream, an endless trail
        G          Am        Am
 I must walk down alone.

[Chorus]
        C                    G    
Now the ship has sailed, the day 
               C                   
is done and the road’s got me down 
     G
to my knees.
  C                   G           
I lift my head to the bloodred sky
     Am           G      
 and long for the smile of 
  F    C        C
Mary-Louise.

  Am                  G           
I turn my eyes to the empty sky 
    C          G
and remember the love
   F    C          C  F         
of Mary-Louise.
