 Intro: G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2
 
 And you know it's time to go
 G6 D2 
   
 through the sleet and driving snow
 G6 D2 
   
 across the fields of mourning to a
            G6          
 light's in the distance
 D2 G6 Dsus4 D2 
     
 And you hunger for the time
 G6 D2 
   
 time to heal, 'Desire', time
 G6 D2 
   
 and your earth moves beneath
 G6 D2 
   
 your own dream landscape
 G6 D2 
   
 Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run________
 G G2 G G2 D2 Dsus4 D G2 
       
 I'll be there, I'll be there
 G G2 G G2 
     
 tonight, a high road, a high road out of here
 D2 Dsus4 D G2 
    
 the city walls are all come down
 the dust a smoke screen all around to see
 faces ploughed like fields that once
 gave no resistance
 
 And we live by the side of the road
 on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
 dislocated, suffocated
 the land grows weary of it's own
 
 O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I hmm hmm
 G6 D2 G6 D2 
    
 O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I
 G6 D2 G6 D2 
    
 Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run, and still we run, we run and don't look back
 G G2 G G2 D2 Dsus4 D G 
      
 I'll be there, I'll be there tonight tonight tonight
 G G2 G G2 D2 Dsus4 D Dsus4 
     
 I'll be there tonight, I believe. I'll be there so high (land),
 C7 
  
 I'll be there tonight, tonight____________
 D D2 G6 D2 
   
 O come away, I sing I say, um ha, o come away oh say.
 G6 D2 G6 D2 
   
 The wind will crack in wintertime
 G6 
  
 this bomb-blast lightning waltz
 D2 G6 
   
 no spoken words, just a scream . . . yeah.... oh........ oh.....
 D2 G6 D2 G6 Dsus4 D G G2 G G2 
     
 tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
 D2 Dsus4 D G2 
    
 see the sky burning rain
 G G2 
   
 she will die and live again tonight_______
 G G2 D2 Dsus4 D G2 G6 D2 G6 Dsus4 D G6 D2 G6 Dsus4 D 
     
 And you heart beats so slow
 through the rain and fallen snow
 across the fields of morning
 to a light that's in the distance
 Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
 for tonight, at last
 I am coming home
 I am coming home
