C#           F# C#
Sometimes I feel
                   F# C#
The need to move on
                      G#    C#
So I pack a bag  and move on
     G#    C#
and Move on
C#
Well I might take a train
    F#      C#
Or sail at dawn
       F#     C#
Might take a girl
        G#    C#
When I move on
        G#    C# G# B F#
When I move on

 B                    E
Somewhere, someone's calling me
 F#                 G#m
When the chips are down
C#                   A#m
I'm just a travelling man
 C#
Maybe it's just a trick of the mind, but
 B                   E
Somewhere there's a morning sky
F#              G#m
Bluer than her eyes
C#                    A#m
Somewhere there's an ocean
C#               C# G# B F#
Innocent and wild

B                 G#m
Africa is sleepy people
D#m
Russia has its horsemen
  E
Spent some nights in old Kyoto
  A      E      F#      G#m
Sleeping on the matted ground

Cyprus is my island
When the going's rough
I would love to find you
Somewhere in a place like that

 B                    E
Somewhere, someone's calling me
 F#                 G#m
When the chips are down
C#                     A#m
I stumble like a blind man
C#
Can't forget you
Can't forget you

Feeling like a shadow
Drifting like a leaf
I stumble like a blind man
Can't forget you Can't forget you

C#
Can't forget you Can't forget you
