INTRO
Em (for 2 bars)


VERSE I
Em
I knew this moment would face me
    G
Now I must take a horse and ride
Em
Deep into the Pennine hills
    G
And out of view of either side
       Asus2
And if ye be with me come along
    C
For every moment's a-crushing time
         Asus2
They pollute with any finger-tip
    C
For you can barely see the old moon shine



CHORUS
      G                 D             Em                D
And I fear that there's many miles to go 'til we reach higher ground
Em                   D          Em      D     Em     D     Em
For this place seems California bound


VERSE II
Well you can work this land of life it seems
Feel it breathe through history
And lose it all by Wednesday week
By order of the ministry
And if ye be with me come along
For many leave by mother lights
To spend the night as trespassers
On a land where they once held the rites


CHORUS


VERSE III
Give us all the eye of hawk
That we may see through prison walls
And out some craggy peaks of gray
Eaten through waterfalls
And if ye be with me come along
For every moment's a-crushing time
They pollute with any finger-tip 
For you can barely see the old moon shine


CHORUS
And I fear that there's many more miles to go 'til we reach higher ground
For this place seems California, California bound
