Verse 1:
A                        F                            G G
I wanna ride the range across those skies of black
A                          F
I wanna see for myself and see me comin? back
G                                F                            G       Intro 1 x2
And when I?ve gone the distance, I?ll be making tracks for an English Sunset.

Verse 2:
A                        F                         G G
We?re on a runaway train rollin? down the track
A                            F
And where it?s takin? us to, who knows where it?s at
G                        F                          G       Intro x2*
But if we hold together, we can make it back for an English Sunset.

Break:

                         D                           G
I feel the rhythm of the earth in my soul tonight,
G cont.                     F#m                  G            A
May it never fade away.

And I?ve decided I can live with humility,              (Ahhhhhhhhh  Ahhhhhhhh)
G cont.                            F             G
And the sad decay                 (Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhh)
G cont.                   Intro 1 x2
?Cause that?s the English way.

Overall, this is a pretty easy song. The hardest part is probably getting
the timing down.  Just listen to the track once or twice to get it right.
