Negative Earth    (Holroyd,Pritchard)

       Am                       F      Am
For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
         G                   E/G#
Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose
         Am               Am/G           D/F#
That my life up here was slowly drifting by
     F                             Am
And all I've got to do is sit and cry

     Am                          F       Am
The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away
        G                          E/G#
I just had to laugh today for the news it seemed to say
         Am                 Am/G           D/F#
That my life once full was surely running dry
     F                              C
I prayed a while but then I had to cry


Ch.
            G       D/F#
Look in my eyes - I know
     F                     C
That man is surely just a man
          G          D/F#
It's no surprise - I know
     F
The road is far too long
     Dm                   C  A#  F  Am
And life too short to carry on

      Am               		  F      Am
For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
           G                       E/G#
Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme
  Am               Am/G              D/F#
Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by
     F                             C
And all I've got to do is sit and cry

Ch.
