John Taylor's Month Away Tab uke di King Creosote

C....G.... played many times over

..........C...............G..
I love to look out at the sea

.........C..............................G....
From the swaying park quay at Roome Bay beach

...........C.......................G...
Today John Taylor starts his month away

.....C.............................G...
On a boat one 10 miles east of Aberdeen

[and so on...]

A dozen men, thirty days
With 24 hours in each
Of shattered boyhood dreams
And not much sleep

I'd much rather be me
For once I'd much rather be me

A month at sea
And then they'll surely sleep
With their heads
Still stuck on land

A month on land
And they'll surely dream
Of girls they can afford
But cannot have

And in a drunken haze
They're on the rolling wave
Once again I'd much rather be me
I'd rather be me

Once again I'd much rather be me
For once again I'd much rather be me
