A                     Bm            
Oh, my land is like a wild goose 
D                  A       D E  D
Wanders all around everywhere 
A                                 Bm 
Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose 
D                           A         D  E  D 
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails 
A                       Bm 
So take me down to your dance floor 
    D                       A         D  E  D 
And I won´t mind the people when they stare 
A                               Bm            D 
Paint a different color on your front door 
D                    A        D  E  D
And tomorrow we will still be there 
A                            Bm              
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to 
D                          A          D  E   D
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide 
A                                      Bm
Some of my friends don´t know who they belong to 
D                                A    D  E  D
Some can´t get a single thing to work inside 
   A                    Bm
So take me down to your dance floor 
D                           A         D  E  D
And I won´t mind the people when they stare 
A                               Bm
Paint a different color on your front door 
D                    A        D  E  D  A
And tomorrow we will still be there

SOLO 

A                                  Bm
I loved you every day and now I´m leaving 
D                        A       D E D
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes 
A                                         Bm
I hope you know a lot more than you´re believing 
D                              A       D  E  D
Just so the sun don´t hurt you when you cry 
A                        Bm
Oh, take me down to your dance floor 
D                       A         D E D 
I won´t mind the people when they stare 
A                                Bm
Paint a different color on your front door 
D                   A       D E D  
And tomorrow we may still be there 
Bm                  D          A
And tomorrow we may still be there
