* Em Em6 (x2) *
 
 
[Verse]
Em         Em6               C        B7
Travelling north, travelling north to find you
Em           Em6          C          B7
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Em         Em6            C           B7
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
Em            Am         C        Em
Call out your name love, don't be surprised
 
 
[Chorus]
Am           Em            Am             Em
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Am         Em             Am          Em
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
    C               D
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
     G            D            Am    C              * Em  Em6 *
It ís many hundred miles but it woo - oon't be long
   Am      Em      Am      Em      Am       B7  Em
It wont be long it wont be long it woo-oont be  long
 
 
[Bridge]
* Em  Em6  Em  Em6 *
 
 
[Verse]
Em         Em6       C       B7
Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Em       Em6         C         B7
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Em           Em6           C           B7
Nothing I've learnt all my life on the way to you
Em       Am          C        Em
Only our love that's over and gone
 
 
[Chorus]
Am           Em           Am               Em
It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Am         Em             Am           Em
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
    C               D
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
     G            D            Am    C              * Em  Em6 *
It's many hundred miles but it woo - oon't be long
   Am      Em      Am      Em      Am       B7  Em
It wont be long it wont be long it woo-oont be  long

Change the C to Am7 and it sounds great. Also, in the last line of the verse try Em, D, C, Am, Em.
