[Verse 3] So I [Em] worked across the [C] country end to end [G][C][G][D] Tried to [Em] find a place to [C] settle down, where my [D] mixed up [D6] life could [D7] mend [B] Held a [Em] job on an [C] oil-rig Flying [G] choppers [G/F#] when I [C] could But the [Am] nightlife nearly [F] drove me round the bend [D][D6][D7][B] And I've [Em] travelled round the [C] world from year to year [G][C][G][D] And [Em] each one found me [C] aimless, one more [D] year the [D6] worse for [D7] wear [B] And I've been [Em] back to South East [C] Asia But the [G] answer [G/F#] sure ain't [C] there But I'm [Am] drifting north, to [D] check things out a [G] gain [C][G][D]
