Tom: E
E
I'm sitting in my bedroom
A
Overlooking Findhorn Bay
E
Cluny Hill in the distance
A
Summer on the way
E
Blue skies and sailing boats
A
Like a picture in a book
E
I can't believe I got here
A
Or how long it took
[Chorus]
B A
Living one step at a time
A
Putting one foot in front of the other
E
It sure feels right
B A
Healing on my mind
A
Been a long way
A E A E A
Been a long way to the light
[Verse 2]
E
I'd made it to Manhattan
A
Built myself a nest
E
I meant to get right back to doing
A
Exactly what I do best
E
Plugging in an electric guitar
A
Leading a band
E
Well, if you want to give God a laugh
A
Tell him your plans
[Verse 3]
E
Summer in the city
A
Wilting in the heat
E
Buzzing up and down to Bearsville
A
And back to Hudson Street
E
I learned meditation
A
And how to visualize
E
Just breathing, being still
A
I never felt more alive
[Chorus]
B A
Living one step at a time
A
Putting one foot in front of the other
E
It's sure feeling right
B A
Healing on my mind
A
Been a long way
A E A E A
Been a long way to the light
[Verse 4]
E
I spent the fall in transit
A
Circling the moon
E
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
A
Like a fiddle without a tune
E
I found what I was searching for
A
In Mrs. Caddy's book
E
I had to go there straight away
A
Have myself a look
[Verse 5]
E
I flew back to Scotland
A
Anticipation in my bones
E
The old country welcoming me
A
Like a prodigal coming home
E
I knelt and kissed the tarmac
A
In the wild Atlantic rain
E
Felt the fiery Gaelic blood
A
Rising in my veins
[Chorus]
B A
Living one step at a time
A
Putting one foot in front of the other
E
It sure feels right
B A
Healing on my mind
A
Been a long way
A E A E A
Been a long way to the light
[Verse 6]
E
I spent the night in Glasgow
A
Flew to Inverness
E
I found the place and at the first
A
I was not impressed
E
Nobody said hello
A
The faces left me cold
E
Back then how was I to know
A
All that would unfold?
[Verse 7]
E
I entered the sanctuary
A
Heard the voice of a girl
E
Sending out a circle of light
A
Clear across the world
E
I shuddered in the power
A
Like a seedling in a storm
E
I've been traveling to this place
A
Since the moment I was born
[Verse 8]
E
I flew back to New York City
A
Singing the big city blues
E
The sand of Findhorn Bay
A
Still clinging to my shoes
E
Tried to restart my life
A
But the life I knew was gone
E
I had to let go everything
A
But that's another song
[Chorus]
B A
Living one step at a time
A
Putting one foot in front of the other
E
It sure feels right
B A
Healing on my mind
A
Been a long way
A E A
Been a long way to the light
E A E A E A
A long way to the light
[Verse 9]
E
So I'm sitting in my bedroom
A
Overlooking Findhorn Bay
E
Cluny Hill in the distance
A
Summer on the way
E
I'm watching the sailing boats
A
Bobbing to and fro
E
Time to hit the road
A
The only way I know
[Chorus]
B A
Living one step at a time
A
Putting one foot in front of the other
E
It sure feels right
B A
Healing on my mind
A
Been a long way
A E
Been a long way to the light
