[Intro]
 
Am  Am6  x4
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                            F        E7
Travelling north, travelling north to find you
Am                         F          E7
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Am                        F          E7
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
Am                       F         Am
Call out your name love, don't be surprised
 
[Chorus]
 
     Dm                    Am
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Dm                         Am
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
     F              G
But suddenly now I know where I belong
      C            G/F         Dm        Am  Am6
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
 
Am  Am6  x3
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am                    F       E7
Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Am                    F        E7
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Am                           F           E7
Nothing I've learned all my life on the way to you
Am                   F        Am
One day our love was over and gone
 
[Chorus]
 
     Dm                    Am
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Dm                         Am
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
      F             G
But suddenly now I know where I belong
      C            G7          Dm        Am  Am6
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
 
Am  Am6  x3
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                F               E7
What will I do if there's someone there with you
Am            F             E7
Maybe someone you've always known
Am                  F        E7
How do I know I can come and give to you
Am                       F        Am
Love with no warning and find you alone
 
[Chorus]
 
     Dm                    Am
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Dm                         Am
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
      F             G
But suddenly now I know where I belong
      C            G7          Dm        Am  Am6
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
 
   Dm       Am
It won't be long
   Dm       Am
It won't be long
   Dm  E     Am  Am6
It won't be long
 
Am  Am6
Repeat and end on Am

This is not the version from the "dark was the night" album. There's a missing verse. The "it won't be long" repetition is only after the last verse and some of the lyrics are pretty obviously incorrect.. The chords are correct though. So thank you.

Misses many chord changes in the chorus. It should be Dm to Am within each bar, not one bar each.
