Most, if not all, of Dougie's songs are played in open tunings on the guitar. I have transcribed this,
along with a few more of his songs, in standard tuning to allow for easier learning.
[Intro]
C#m B
[Verse]
E B E A E B E
This is really not my home, Oh where are you my love-ly Jen-ny?
B C#m A B E
I'm afraid and all alone, There is no peace for me
E B E A E B E
And I'm sitting in the stran-ger's room, Playing at the stran-ger's ta-ble
B C#m A B E
Shining empty like the moon, There's no peace for me
[Chorus]
A E B E A E B C#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E B E B E
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
B C#m A B E
Distant and so far away, There's no peace for me
[Verse]
E B E A E B E
I'm blinded by your city lights, I wander through these fear-ful pla-ces
B C#m A B E
The colours fade to black and white, There is no peace for me
E B E A E B E
And these are not the friends I know, These are not their smi-ling fa-ces
B C#m A B E
A desert that no-one should know, There's no peace for me
[Chorus]
A E B E A E B C#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E B E B E
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
B C#m A B E
Distant and so far away, There's no peace for me
[Verse]
E B E A E B E
Now I know and feel it well, Poor immi-grants' deep sun-ken fee-ling
B C#m A B E
Standing at the gates of Hell, There is no peace for me
E B E A E B E
Burned out by their mas-ter's greed, Cruel exile trans-portation
B C#m A B E
Robbed of every love and need, There is no peace for me
[Chorus]
A E B E A E B C#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E B E B E
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
B C#m A B E
Distant and so far away, There's no peace for me
