John Taylors Month Away

C....G.... played many times over ..........C...............G. I love to look out at the sea .........C..............................G.... From the swaying park quay at Roome Bay beach ...........C.......................G... Today John Taylor starts his month away .....C.............................G... On a boat one 10 miles east of Aberdeen and so on... A dozen men, thirty days With 24 hours in each Of shattered boyhood dreams And not much sleep I'd much rather be me For once I'd much rather be me A month at sea And then they'll surely sleep With their heads Still stuck on land A month on land And they'll surely dream Of girls they can afford But cannot have And in a drunken haze They're on the rolling wave Once again I'd much rather be me I'd rather be me Once again I'd much rather be me For once again I'd much rather be me
