From: tim@groovcat.demon.co.uk (Tim Norris)@groovcat.demon.co.uk (Tim Norris) Subject: Re: WANTED: Lyrics of "Far, Far Away" (Slade) No, it's definitely "Far, Far Away", from the top 1974 motion picture 'Slade in Flame'. Now there's a damn fine rock movie... Here are the words and a rough idea of the chords, too (I'm fairly certain they're right, but it's late at night so there's no guarantee and definitely no money back). Oh, and the # is a sharp sign on my Mac, who knows what's going to come out the other end. Computers, eh' Who'd 'ave 'em' Far Far Away - Noddy Holder and Dave Lea Intro: Bm A Bm A Bm A

I've seen the ^Bmyellow lights go ^Adown the Mississ^Bmippi ^A I've seen the ^Bmbridges of the ^Aworld and they are for ^Bmreal ^Bsus2 ^Bm I've had a ^Gred light off-the-^Awrist without me ^Deven g^Dsus2etting ^Dkissed It ^Gstill seems so un^Areal

I've seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska I've seen the sunset in the East and in the West I've sang the glory that was Rome And passed the 'Hound Dog' singer's home It still seems for the best

And I'm ^Dfar, ^D/C#far a^D/Bway ^D/A With my ^Ghead up in the ^Aclouds And I'm ^Dfar, ^D/C#far a^D/Bway ^D/A With my ^Gfeet down in the ^Acrowds Letting ^Dloose ar^D/C#ound the ^D/Bworld^D/A But the ^Gcall of home is ^F#loud Still as ^Bmloud ^A ^Bm ^A ^Bm ^A

I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre And felt the silence hanging low in No Man's Land And though those Spanish nights were fine It wasn't only from the wine It still seems all in hand And I'm far, far away, &c... I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi The Grand Bahama Island stories carry on And though those aligator smiles Stay in your memory for a while There still seems more to come And I'm far, far away &c...
