[Verse]
C
Young boy on the waterfront
D
Looking out at the sea
D
Ships in the distance
G
Where he longs to be
[Verse]
G
Throw a stone in the water
C D
Watch the ripples disappear
D
Ride the waves to Africa
G
With the wind in your hair
C D
The wind in your hair
G
The wind in your hair
[Verse]
G
There's a map up on a space in the wall
C
And he stares at it through the night
D
He dreams across continents
G
Following the light
[Verse]
G
Onward to the west he roves
C D
Searching out the sun
D
When he comes full circle
G
He swings around again
C D
He swings around again
G
He swings around again
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G
And the father sees a young boy
C
Who wears a man's disguise
D
He knows that far-off freedom look
G
That flashes in his eyes
[Verse]
G
For he wore that look in younger days
C
When he was still a son
D
And he knows that he will never see
G
When the boy becomes the man
C D
The boy becomes the man
G
The boy becomes the man
[Verse]
G
And the road goes ever onward
C D
So, take it while you can
D
When you've done with travelling
G
Come home again my son
C D
Home again my son
G
Home again my son
