                               In A Foreign Land
                            Written by R.D. Davies

         A         E                F#m         C#m  
It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax, 

          E            D          A    
I held my world in the palm of my hand.

    A         E                  F#m     C#m       E         D        
A    
And all of my debts were causing me to defect to a land of bananas and
sand.

A    E                              D       A    
So I ran, yes I ran, yes I ran to a foreign land.

A      E                             D       A    
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land.


    D  B       A          D            B     A    
I'm so glad we made it, I thought we'd never land,

  D              B          A        F#m       E   
I grabbed all my cash and decided to dash far away,

E                       D       E    
Far away, far away to a foreign land.

A      E                             D       A    
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land.


    A                                       
Goodbye to all of the rich man's daughters, 
A
Goodbye to my debts now I'm 'way cross the water.

E                       D       A    
Far away, far away in a foreign land.

A      E                             D       A    
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land.


A                                     E D A
La la, la la la la, la la la la la la    


       A       E          F#m       C#m              E       D       
A     
Please tell my mother and all my ex-lovers that I've finally made the
grade.

       A       E               F#m      C#m     
Please tell my debtors and the money collectors 

     E         D             A         E   
That all of my bills will be paid some day.

E                                 D       A   
I'm away, I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land


   
A                                                                     
E   
Goodbye champagne and caviar set, I wanna slum and drink all the rum I
can get.

E                                 D       A   
I'm away, I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land

A      E                             D       A    
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land.

        D         B          A        F#m  
But I'm out of my jack and I can't go back.

     E                            D       A    
I'm away, far away, far away in a foreign land.

La la, la la la la, la la la la la la ...
