1. I’ve seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi.

                          Am                   G                             Am

    I’ve seen the bridges of the world and they’re for real.

                      F                      G                       C                Am

    I’ve had a red light of the wrist without me even gettin’ kissed,

        F              Dm     G

    it still seems so unreal.

2. I’ve seen the morning in the mountains of Alaska,

                         Am                  G                     Am   

    I’ve seen the sunset in the east and in the west.

                            F                     G                      

    I’ve sang the glory that was Rome,

                                C                          Am

    and passed the hound dog singer’s home,

         F             Dm       G

    it still seems for the best.

 

              C   G    Am - Em                F        Dm         G

And I’m far far away         with my head up in the clouds.

              C   G    Am  - Em                F           Dm        G

And I’m far far away          with my feet down in the crowds.

             C        G             Am    - Em

Lettin’ loose around the world,

             F       Dm          E                Am    - G    

but the call of home is loud, still as loud.

3. I’ve seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmarte,

                       Am                     G                      Am   

    and felt the silence hanging low in no mans land.

                              F                           G                    C                  Am

    And all those Spanish nights were fine, it wasn’t only from the wine.

        F              Dm     G

    it still seems all in hand.        

 

              C   G    Am - Em                F        Dm         G

And I’m far far away         with my head up in the clouds.

              C   G    Am  - Em                F           Dm        G

And I’m far far away          with my feet down in the crowds.

             C        G             Am    - Em

Lettin’ loose around the world,

             F       Dm          E                Am    - G    

but the call of home is loud, still as loud.

4. I’ve seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi,

                      Am                     G               Am   

    the Grand Bahama Island stories carry on.

                          F              G                          C                   Am

    And all those arigato smiles stay in your memory far a while,

              F                Dm        G

    there still seems more to come.
