[Verse 1]
Cm
Leaving my life behind
 
My young love and the unborn
 
Only have a lock of her hair
 
And burning love inside
                        Bb                  F
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights
              Ab          Cm        G
The sails are lit by the lights of Boston
 
             Cm
(And here we go... off the ship)
 
Towards the adventure
 
The one to define our lives
 
Daily grind and a tiny room
 
"I got here safe, Love
                           Bb
I have an address, until spring
             F
Then I shall race for the land
Ab      Cm            G
Hope to hear from you soon..."
 
(Her letter reads...)
 

 
[Chorus]
Em             C          G          D
"Please let me know everything's all right
Am         C                      G      D
Thinking about you, though you're out of sight
      Em               C             G          D
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me
Am            C                   G      D
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me..."
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cm
"Now that I have made the dollars we need for the 
dream
                                              
The best horse I've ever seen, a carriage and 
             Ab
everything I need
       Cm                  Bb
I will make my way to the great unknown
      F                       Ab   Cm      G
Every moment, I wish you were here with me now..."
 
 
[Chorus]
Em             C          G          D
"Please let me know everything's all right
Am         C                      G      D
Thinking about you, though you're out of sight
      Em               C             G          D
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me
Am            C                   G      D
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me..."
 
 
[Bridge]
C           D         Am
No, I'm not a stranger among the people in here
C          D              Em
Yet I have never felt so alone
C             D
At high noon, sound will boom
Am                              C    D  Em  D
And I will start racing for the land we can call 
home
 
   Em       Am          D          G          
"I stuck my flag in the ground, screaming and 
 C
shouting
Am         D       Bm
I've never felt so proud, Love
Em     Am         D       G
We are free from eternal serfdom
C         Am        D        Bm
I'm gonna bring you home, my light!"

[Outro]
Em        C            G        D
I made my way into the great unknown
Am          C           G         D
Land by the river and a new-built home
Em       C            G       D
I am the land and the land is me
  Am       C              G        D
Freedom is everything and we are free
Em        C            G        D
I made my way into the great unknown
Am          C           G         D
Land by the river and a new-built home
      Em               C             G         
Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon 
 D
rising
Am     C       G         D      Em
I hold you and know that we are free
