Lyrics:
This is reported to be played with open tuning but what tuning Exactly I don't know. I have created a simple version which Gets me by. It involves sliding the Cadd 9 up but leaving The other strings open. In the chorus there is a flourish Which I play as Em9 054030 and Em7(2) 050430 to get back To the G Intro: G repeated to get the rhythm G From China to Chinatown New York to Tokyo 030010 050030 C Cadd9 Em7 Upstate to down Island From here to there From the backyard to the wide wide open spaces From the steel mills to the wind in your hair From the claustrophobic beat of my heart To the openness of your smile We're in this together going the distance Right down to the last mile Chorus G Cos you're my partner You are my partner C Em9 Em7 Em9 You're my partner for life (twice, then twice with just chords) Up the coast of Africa to the Straits of Gibraltar Through that tunnel where the birds migrate In a hotel room without running water And all the clocks are running one hour late And on the wall are paintings of couples intertwined Locked in embraces as if fighting for their lives And the warm night air breathes through the open window And husbands cling to their wives Chorus repeat Bridge 050050 Em7(3) Em7 Well I know I know I know 030010 030030 C Cadd9 Cadd9(2) Why it just has to be just has to be Well l know l know l know why I'm with you and baby you're with me Let's get out of here and drive up to the ocean Out of the city and up the coast of Maine Feel the spray and the ancient motion Watch the children in the sand watch them play From the backyard to the wide wide open spaces From the pounding of the surf To the gentleness of your smile We're in this together going the distance Right down to the last mile Chorus repeat
