A World Away

            F     G               
I'm a world away, right outside 
    C
your window
      F                       
I got money in my pocket and I 
 C                        G
Brought a nice bottle of wine
                   F     G        
I think I'm on the list, do you 
     C
see my name there?
            F                     
I've come a long hard way and I'm 
G                       C
lookin' for a better time
          G
Oh well I tried to get over and I 
tried to get across
        F                          
Now I'm standin' at the door but 
  C
the door is locked
      G
I can see those pretty gals 
dosey-doe
      F                        G
I can hear that music from the radio


NC          F G C
I'm a world away
            F G C
I'm a world away
                F
Standin' at the gates
            G
With my suitcase
                C
But I'm a world away


F G C

[Verse]
                     F      G     
Hey it's a real nice place, do you
           C
 need some help here?

      F                         C 
I can sweep, I can paint, I can 
               G
play a little violin
                   F   G       
If you let me stay, oh you won't 
            C
need to worry
            F                      
I'll be the life of the party if 
  G                   C
you just let me slip on in
           G
Oh well, I wade in the river and I 
marched through the sand
      F                            
Now I standin' at the gates of the 
C
Promised Land
           G
Oh but you say that you gotta leave 
'em locked up tight
       F                           
If you please, mister, I can sleep 
    G
out here tonight


[Chorus]
NC            F G C
I'm a world away
            F G C
I'm a world away
                F
Standin' at the gates
            G
With my suitcase
                C
But I'm a world away


[Bridge]
            G
How can you know the hard times I've
 had?
     F
Kept waiting and almost left for 
dead
        Am
I got a needle streakin' in my veins
             G
I've come to sew a bright new star 
on the face of your flag

            F       G             
I'm a world away, right outside 
      C
your window
      F                       
I got money in my pocket and I 
 C                        G
brought a nice bottle of wine
                   F     G        
I think I'm on the list, do you 
     C
see my name there?
            F                     
I've come a long hard way and I'm 
C                    G
lookin' for a better time


[Chorus]
NC          F G C
I'm a world away
            F G C
I'm a world away
                F
Standin' at the gates
           G
With my suitcase
                F G C
But I'm a world away
            F G C
I'm a world away
                F
Standin' at the gates
            G
With my suitcase
                C
But I'm a world away
