Miles From Nowhere

Words & Music:

Cat Stevens

 

           D                           G        A              D

Miles from nowhere, guess I'll take my time, oh yeah, to reach there.

The top of the mountain I have to climb, oh yeah, to reach there.

Lord, my body has been a good friend.

But I won't need it when I reach the end.

Miles from nowhere, guess I'll take my time, oh yeah, to reach there.

 

C   D   C   D

 

CHORUS:

C                  D                C              D

I came through the valleys and I'll go through the woods.

C                     D                 G                A    D    C

'Cause I know when I find my honey it's gonna make feel good, yeah.

I love everything, so, don't you make me feel sad.

'Cause I'll drink to you my baby.

I'll drink to that, I'll drink to that.

 

D   C   A   G   A   G   A

 

Miles from nowhere, not a soul in sight, oh yeah, but it's alright.

I have my freedom, I can make my own rules.

Oh yeah, the ones that I choose.

Lord, my body has been a good friend,

But I won't need it when I reach the end.

 

C   D   C   D

 

CHORUS:  [first two lines instrumental only]

 

Miles from nowhere, guess I'll take my time, oh yeah, to reach there.
