Em A Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, don't leave me Look around and choose your own ground Cmaj7 Long you live and high you fly Bm7 Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry Fmaj7 all you touch and all you see G D7#9 D7b9 Is all your life will ever be Em A Run, rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to dig another one. Chorus(2): Cmaj7 For long you live and high you fly Bm7 But only if you ride the tide Fmaj7 And balanced on the biggest wave G D7#9 D7b9 You race towards an early grave Em A Home,home again I like to be here when I can and when I come home cold and tired It’s good to warm my bones by the fire Cmaj7 Bm7 Far away across the fields the tolling of the iron bell Fmaj7 calls the faithful to their knees G D7#9 D7b9 to hear the softly smoking magic spell
