Since I Saw Vienna Tabulatur von Wilbur Soot (für Baryton)

(C#m7 E B A) x2


C#m7
The cute bomber jacket you've had since sixth form
E
Adorned with patches of places you've been
   B
Is nothing on my khaki coat I got
       A
From a roadside when I was sixteen


   C#m7
My boots are from airports

My backpack's from friends
    E
I'm not a man of substance, and so I'll pretend
        B
To be a wanderer, wondering
                A
Leaving ascetic belongings in hostels and restaurant bins


(C#m7 E B A)


    C#m7
The roads are my home, horizon's my target
   E
If I keep on moving, never lose sight of it
B
Treating my memory of you like a fire, let it
A
Burn out, don't fight it, and try to move on

     C#m7
It's been sixty weeks since I saw Vienna
  E
A bandage and a wide smile slapped across my face
     B
I'll pick up my hiking boots when I am ready
         A
And I'll put down my roots when I'm dead

C#m7
The distance is futile
A5
Come on, don't be hasty
       B6                              C#m7
You'll get that feeling deep inside your bones
        C#m7                  A5       B
I'll be gone then, for when you must be alone
