Back Home In Aberdeen Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

E F♯ B E B

BTen year have passed in Ewhat seems like a Bminute

 Just a restless boy intent on having F♯fun

 Now I Bstep down from the Ebus beside my old Bschool

 A wiser man now F♯that the journey's Bdone.

  I've learnt Esilence from those that speak their Bmind

  I've learnt Ekindness from Bthose who are unF♯kind

  I've travelled Bround the world in Esearch of Bwhat I Eneed

  Found it F♯all waiting back home in AberBdeen.

Refrain

E F♯ B E B

The river's lullaby that once subdued me

And the buzzing hills that improvised a wall

Are sweet now I no longer seek an answer

To the self-imposing saddest songs of all

And from that bitter root there grows a vine

That shows regret for wasted years is wasted time

I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need

Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

Solo

F♯ B F♯ B E B F♯ B

Opaque clouds unmask a worried old face

But the images dissolve behind a tree

Unafraid of change and happy now in small ways

There is now as there always was, just me.

And though the future is far off this much I know

Nothing’s as far away as one minute ago

I've travelled round the world in search of what I need

Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

I’ve travelled round the world in search of what I need

Found it all waiting back home in Aberdeen

Refrain

E F♯ B E B
