My sister flew back home
yesterday from her visit here in London and it’s the first time in a week that I’ve had a chance to lift the guitar and this song came - I think my folk roots may be showing, as I’m a big folk and traditional music fan.
The noise on this is Freddie fidgeting but if it’s not that it will be planes and passing cars so I tune out. I hope it’s not too distracting
I’ve added chords and lyrics and the chords will always be suitable for beginners and easy to play as these are the only ones I can play myself 😀

on my way to you
capo second fret
intro am7, e7, am, em, am, e7, am
(am7) like a (e7) bird in the (am) sky i (em) cry, (am) wind (e7)carry me (am) home
(am7 ) the night is (e7)dark, the (am)journey (em) long
and (am) many (e7)miles have I (am) flown
(c) I’m on my (g) way, to (am7) sunnier (e7)shores
(c) I’m on my (e7) way to (am) you (e7)
(am) I push through (e7) clouds, I (f) raise my (e7)wings
(am7)I’m on my (e7) way to (am)you
(am7) will you still be (e7)there, will (am) you still (em) see
(am)all that (e7) travelled with (am) me
(am7) The road is (e7)) rough, (am) the wind is (em) strong,
and (am) i’ve been (e7) travelling all night (am) long
(c) I’m on my (g) way, to (am7) sunnier (e7) shores
(c) I’m on my (e7) way to (am) you (e7)
(am) I push through (e7)clouds, I (f) raise my (e7)wings
(am7)I’m on my (e7)way to (am)you
Bridge
(f) Through the (g)storm I’ve (c) flown so (e7) far,
(f) Every mile has brought me (e7)near,
(f) will you still (e7)be there will (c) you still (e7)hear
(f) or will it (e7) all (am)disappear
(am7)Mountains (e7) fade and (am) rivers (em)bend,
but (am) love will (e7)guide me (am) through.
(am7) although our (e7)) distance (am) keeps us (em) apart,
(am7) my heart still (e7)) beats for (am) you.
c) I’m on my (g) way, to (am7) sunnier (e7) shores
(c) I’m on my (e7) way to (am) you (e7)
(am) I push through (e7)clouds, I (f) raise my (e7)wings
(am7)I’m on my (e7) way to (am)you
am7, e7, am, em, am, e7, am
