I guess this song is 20 years old now - it's pretty straightforward, but
I can't even find the lyrics online, let alone the chords...

So here you go.

If you look on Youtube there's a nice solo version by McNabb in which he explains that he knew he'd be playing it with Crazy Horse, so felt he couldn't use more than 3 chords.

I just like the "Sausalito" / "Flying Burritos" rhyme.

Going where the Sun is warmer
G Em (alternate w/ 6 open strings)
Going where nobody knows my name
G
Going where the trees are taller
G Em
Going where there isn't any pain

Going where the days are brighter,
C
Going where the load is lighter,
Em
Going where they know a fighter
C
Going down, down to delta
[tacet] C/Riff/G
Got a head like a rock and a fire inside my soul

[as verse 1]
My Dad died when I was twenty
I didn't cry but it tore me up inside
Got a band, and played some music
Wasn't bad, and we went on a long ride
Started out in Sausalito,
They said "you talk just like The Beatles"
Listening to The Flying Burritos
Made a call to my mother
Got great big hit, and a fire inside my soul

[as verse 2]
Fell in love and moved to London
Didn't like big time city life
Came apart, and back together
Loves strange, but love's the only way
Back at home, I lost some good friends
People change and something pure ends
Soon enough a broken heart mends
Got drunk every night,
Got an aching head, and a fire inside my soul

(Guitar solo)

[as verse 1]
These days I go my own way
People seem to like the songs I sing
I'm alive and feeling pretty
Now I know it's me and this guitar
Gonna find the answer some day
Got a dream she's coming some way
Gonna taxi down the runway
Gonna fly, play my music
Got a great big heart and a fire inside my soul

C
I've learned, I think I'm ready
C
Aims good, hands are steady
Em
Brave words, your vision led me,
C
I'll love you if you let me
[tacet] C/riff/G
Got a killing smile, and a fire inside my soul

Hi Gareth,
