The song is played with a capo on the second fret, however the
transcripton will be done without taking the capo into account.
[Verse 1]
You can Galmost D/F#touch the Gocean
Shimmering Cin the distant Ghaze,
As you Gstand there G/F#on the Emmountain
On this Cloveliest day of Ddays.
Round Ghalf the D/F#world you've Gdrifted
Left Cno wild oats unsown,
But Gnow your G/F#view has Emshifted
And you Cthink you've Djust come Ghome.
[VErse 2]
And you're GdrowningD/F# in the Gsunshine
As itC pours down from the Gsky,
And there'sG something sG/F#tirring Emin your heart
Bright Ccolours fill yourD eyes.
As from Ghere to the D/F#far hoGrizon
YouCr beauty does unfold,
And Goh, you lG/F#ook so lEmovely
DCressed in Dgreen and Ggold.
[VErse 3]
To the GhomelessD/F# and theG hungry
May we Calways open Gdoors,
May the Grestless aG/F#nd the wEmeary
FindC safe harbour on our Dshores.
MayG she always D/F#be our Gdreamtime place
OurC spirit's glad release,
May she Galways G/F#be our Emshelter
MCay we alDways live Gin peace.
REPEAT INTRO
May we always live in peace.
