First time out is a heady feeling.  White clouds under my feet.

Sailin' along like a south wind, over fields of whispering wheat
E11                Amaj7                    Bm7      E11     Amaj7
Thinkin' alone on a Thursday morning,  of peace and love and war.

I still don't have any answer,  but I don't get high anymore.

Don't let it get you - there's joy in either, so do what you will.

Everyone knows it's the same old feeling, worlds below the sea.

Just you and me and easy, is where I want to be
