the passenger guiding sunset
to the kill to the kill fossilise it (my home) to a standstill
(I am not going to write out the tabs for the next section but the left hand finger positions (right hand if you're left handed) are as follows, the picking sequence is relatively easy to work out, if any one is stuck working it out drop me a line and I'll try and write it out)

Home is on the water
U (don't forget to bend the B string - (now tuned to A))
the rainbow warrior runs
against the fashion passion(s)
philosophies of guns
where issues are invited
to front up savage fun
by the ignorant and spineless
out of touch with 'everyone'
Home
I wish I had an acre
instead of just a slot
somewhere that I could take her
where the world could mean a lot
instead of being ciphers
in a brave new council block
with endless empty neighbours
and an ever bolted lock
Home
And scorn I'll be taking my leave forever
is it better to laugh than to grieve
when it doesn't matter
whether I am evermore or whether I am anymore?
