F#m B D
It's okay, Dad, you can go
Bm
We're all here and we know
That you're traveling soon
E D
I've sung you all the songs that I can sing
F#m E D
Mostly George Formby with none of the strings
[Verse 2]
F#m B D
It's funny where we can end up
A life in fields
Bm
And now you're here
Not a blade of grass
E D
You were born in wild Australia
F#m E D
Had to go a long way to be where you are
[Verse 3]
F#m B D
I did this thing towards the end
Bm
Where I put my head right against your head
And I just held it there
E D
Tried to store up every single vein
F#m E D
Fixed in my mind for all tomorrow's days
A B D
For all tomorrow's days
[Verse 4]
F#m B D
And so to the last night of your stay
Waited up all night
Bm
And watched you sleep
I've never done that before
E
And you know what
D
It was the best night of my life
F#m B D
To be close to your dreams for the very first time
[Verse 5]
F#m B D
It was a gentle afternoon
I think Tuesday
Bm
And there you lay
You were trying to die
E D
We opened up the window so you could fly
F#m E D
Soar away into the rest of our lives
A B D A
I just hope you made it past the hospital car park
[Instrumental]
A B D A (x2)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 6]
F#m B D
In the middle of the night
Some years back
Bm
You told your wife
That you could not sleep
E D
You said you were scared to die
F#m E D
But you were curious to see the other side
A B*
Well, now you know
D A
Now you know
