FOREIGN LAND by The Eskie's!:

(Fig 3) (Fig 3)

Steady my shaky hands

Shut off the world's demands

to get the facts down

Do you understand?

This is a foreign land

So try to understand that

Do you understand?

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

F (Fig 3)

Even when you're all alone

D (Fig 3)

Even when it's not your home

Take a little look around

nothing else hits the ground

Touch my hand

up to the air

Dying in the foreign land

So do you understand that

Do you understand?

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

F (Fig 3)

Even when you're all alone

D (Fig 3)

Even when it's not your home

I smell the blood of an Australian

Try to understand this if you can

D (Fig 4)

if you can

(Fig 1) x 4 (3rd time & 4th time put in Fig 2)

if you can

(Solo)

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

This is what it feels to love

then I can feel that

D (Fig 3)

Even when you're all alone

G (Fig 3)

When it's not your home

(Fig 4)

I smell the blood of an Australian

(Fig 1) x2
