_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hello everyone, _ all you beautiful people out there.
I hope everyone's doing okay.
Hope you're washing your hands, not touching your face, practicing your elbow bumps with
whoever you're punkering down with.
_ _ _ _ The _ _ _ crowd, and play some songs in the coming days.
_ _ Live from my kitchen. _
_ _ And here's a song [F] that I [C] _ wrote some time ago, [F] but it was in [D] those [C] _ days when [D] we would [C] travel _ without [Fm] fear.
[C] And I know those days are gonna come again.
Can you get off the counter?
[N] Come here.
Get off the counter.
Thank you.
That's Angus, everybody.
_ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ This is a [Dm] song about one of my favorite places in the world.

_ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ _ traveling _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ across the sea.
_ [Gm] _
With [F] my suitcase and guitar [C] to keep me company. _ _ _
[F] I am far from home, [Gm] _
[F] just another stray.
_ _ [Gm] _
[F] In and around the crowd, _ _ travelers [C] this holiday.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] And who'd expect this _ revenant waiting [F] here for me?
[C] A ghost that smiles and takes my arm when no one else [F] can see. _ _
[Bb] And we [C] walk and talk and I drink coffee and watch the [F] drinking tea.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [Bbm] _ _ _ Edinburgh, _ _
[Am] _ [F] we are strolling [Dm] down [Gm] _
[Dm] the ancient _ _ streets.
[Gm] _
[F] On a sunny day that's counting [C] down to New Year's _ Eve.
_ [F] There's the torch parade _ [Bb] _
[F] and it's a _ fireworks night.
[Gm] _
[F] But I've always run away at the first [C] strange of all blind times.
_ _ _ The loneliness that finds me in a crowd to be [F]
admired.
_ [C] For it's deft and skilled and makes me feel revealed in my [F] _ skies.
[C] _ A memory captured on my heart is all that is [Dm] _ [C] required.
[G] _ _ _ _

_ [Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [Bb] _ So here's to things that never were [C] alongside all [F] that is.
[C] _ _ [Bb] The clauses that we all endure, _ [C] the faces that we [F] miss.
[Am] _ [Bb] And the hundred thousand things I [C] meant to _ say [F] never [C] did. _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
