tabbed by graham jones

great song from the levellers 2012 album static on the airwaves .

standard tuning

E C D C ( x2 )

E C D C
i thought i heard a sound , of the speech on the wind .
E C D C
the smoulder of the smoke , hanging just above .
E C D C
and the darkest of thoughts , have the time to gather round .
E C D C
as gentle was the word , and the speech on the sound .

chorus :
G D G D E
there’s a place that’s travelled far , always with you in your thoughts .

G D G D E
it’s where your safe underground , waiting for the world with your song .

E C D C
and the colour of her hair , as it glides across her face .
E C D C
all thoughts of despair , never seemed so out of place .
E C D C
and it seems familiar , as the world echoes .
E C D C
yeah , thinking of her , where you ought’a go .

chorus :
G D G D E
there’s a place that’s travelled far , always with you in your thoughts .

G D G D E
it’s where your safe underground , waiting for the world with your song .

bridge :
G E
stranded fish out of water ,
G E
struggling with all that they taught you .

instrumental
G D G D E ( x2 )

E C D C
siren of the state , after beaching down .
E C D C
notice every word , have to touch the ground .
E C D C
you lift up your face , to every possibility .
E C D C
’cause there has to be grace , as we journey that way .

chorus :
G D G D E
there’s a place that’s travelled far , always with you in your thoughts .

G D G D E
it’s where your safe underground , waiting for the world with your song .
