[Verse]
E          D            C          D
 Just for a short while, on a steep hill incline
E            D            C              D
 He runs from time to time, treading out a pace
                  E            D      C   D
 A path that will be so hard to follow
E                D      C             D
 Backbreaking precision, breathtaking speed
E                D              C      D
 If he tries his luck he will succeed


[Chorus]
F               C
 Watches set at Greenwich Time
     G
 The watch he keeps, he cannot sleep
F                C
 Sees a ship out in the night
   G
 He hears their call, he sees their light
     F
 This time
         C                   G
 He’s out on his own for the first time
                               F
 He’s out on his own 'till the next time
      C              G
 He’s out on his own

 He’s out on his own 'till the next time
      C              G
 He’s out on his own
