VERSE
Dm C
I found him in the paper
Dm
Among the stories of the dead
Am
Marked out from the others
Dm
By the tender of his age

Made his name as a climber
Travelled across the world
But didn’t find his place there
And went looking somewhere else

BRIDGE
F C
If someone who climbed as high as him
A# C
Saw no future from up there, how will I fair

CHORUS
F C A#
This one goes out to the young men that have gone
F C A#
This one goes out to the young men that have gone
C A# F
And the forgotten souls that carried on
F C A#

VERSE 2
As he climbed into his 20s
The mountains weren’t enough
His path led to India
Among less fortunate

There he found no answers
Or the reason for it all
Friends grew anxious for him
AS they saw him walk

BRIDGE + CHORUS

MIDDLE
F
Think how many of these travellers
C
The papers never write
Gm
Lying on the cold road sides
C
Thinking they’re all alone

I want to tell them and make ‘em see
That it gets easier
They’re just the deep down blues we all go through
And there is another side

CHORUS
