[Intro]
Am              Am              Am              Am

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

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

[Verse 2]
Am                  C            G                       G          Am        Am
I was sent off to a faraway war, led to believe it would set us all free.
  Am                      C                 G                 G            Am        Am
I fell in and followed, I carried my weight until one day the truth hit on me.

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

[Interlude]
F               C               F               C
Am              G               F               F

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

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

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