_ _ _ [Bb] Somewhere along the road
Somewhere [C]
along the road itself [F] as _ _ a notion is really just a journey through life.
It's [C] kind of an archetypal [F] human condition song.
[Bb] _
_ _ _ _ Waiting _ _
_ [F] _ _ patiently
I think it's a very [Eb] hopeful song, _ _ that [F] somewhere along the road someone [C] waits for me.
_ It's [F] about _ wanting, _ people simply wanting and being lonely.
Over [C] _ _ mountains
_ _ _ It's kind of like a hymn in a way, isn't it?
_ _ [Dm] _ _ It's a [Bb] song of hope.
_ _ Beautiful, bittersweet, [F] warm, _ intimate side of the festive season that it evokes. _ _ _ _ _
Somehow _ _ [Dm] a guiding _ light
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ Always shows [F] the _ [Ab] way
It's easy to connect with it [F] because it represents [C] _
what everyone goes [F] through at some point in their life of [Bb] basically missing someone. _ _
Searching for the _ _ day
Well it's one of the _ _ [F] _
earliest songs [C] of Rick's that I [F] remember singing.
It had been a book [Bb] written by Maddy's [Fm] dad, Alan Pryor, who wrote [C] Zedgars and loads of other TV things, also wrote 20 novels.
[Dm] And he just [C] said to me one day, _ [Dm] why don't you turn this thing that's been a [Eb] book and it's been everything but on [Bb] ice,
why don't you turn it into a [Cm] musical as you're doing [Fm] not a lot at the moment.
Of course it was the song that my father didn't like, _ [F] _
_ _ as these things tend to be. _
_ _ [Bb] But it's the one that survived, so not [C] so much for Dad's taste, sorry [F] Dad.
_ _ _ And since then I think it's been recorded, maybe [C] 15 people have done it now.
[Bb] Quite a journey for the song, it nearly got lost entirely and _ for the first time [C] it's great to see Lye doing it.
Raise _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ your [Dm] _ [F] eyes to _ see my world
[Bb] The autumn and winter [F] are a time of reflection, I think it is a [C] reflective song.
It seems to have come [F] into its own lately [C] with an [Dm] awful lot of refugees in the world and a lot of people [Bb] getting lost one way or another.
And [F] it's kind of a song of hope really.
_ As I said today, it touches loneliness in someone, that's what it [C] does touching me.
_ [F] And it's _ [Bb] quite emotional in the tone of the area, very beautiful.
[Cm] It's quite something else, it [Fm]
feels quite emotional, I always get quite emotional when I sing, I get quite tearful.
_ [Am] _ Somehow _
[Dm] a guiding _ [Gm] light _ _ _ always _ _ [C] _
[F] shows the _ _ way _
To _ _ [C] those who lose [Dm] their way by [Bb] night, _ _ searching _ _ _ for the _ _ day
I mean I love Rick so much, [F] I mean I love all the band, [C] but Rick in particular you know.
[F] But yeah, he's so lovely you know, he's [Bb] just got a [F] heart, a big heart. _ _ _
[C] And [Dm] a lot of knowledge, a lot of [C] musical knowledge in him as [F] well.
_ Rick writes great [Bb] songs, _ the lyrical content of his music [C] is beautiful.
It's his most spiritually _
_ [Dm] complete, _ _ which is why we do it at the whole end of the set.
Lots of noise we've had, all sorts of things and [Bb] then we just chill with this _ lovely [C] song.
Well it [F] has such a great response to the audiences _ and _ _ _ [C] it's invariably a [Dm] magical _ moment on both [Bb] sides, stage and audience.
_ _ _ [Cm] Especially this new [F] line-up, I think it's fantastic.
_ [Fm] The addition of Spud, it's lovely.
[Bb] _ _ [F] As I say, it's a song I've sung for a very [C] long time and I _ [F] really love.
It's [Bb] one of those special songs.
[F] _ _ _
[Cm] Sing _ _ _ out, [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] somewhere _ _ [Dm] along _ _ the road, [Bb] _ _ someone _ _
[D] waits _ [Bb] for _ me.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Someone _ _ _ [C] waits _ _ [F] for _ me. _ _ _ _
