[C][G][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][G]

[Chorus 1]
When you [C]go will you send back
a [Dm]letter [G]from A[C]merica
Take a look up the rail track
[Dm]from Miam[G]i to C[C]anada

[Verse 1]
[F]Well, broke off from my work the other day
[Am]Spent the evening thinking about
all the blood that flowed away
[F]Across the ocean to the second chance
I [Am]wonder how it got on
when it [Em]reached the prom[F]ised land
[Am][Dm][G]

[Chorus 2]
When you [C]go will you send back
a [Dm]letter [G]from A[C]merica
Take a look up the rail track
[Dm]from Miam[G]i to C[C]anada

[Verse 2]
[F]I've looked at the ocean,
tried hard to imagine
The [Am]way you felt the day you sailed
from Wester Ross to Nova Scotia
[F]We should have held you,
we should have told you
But you [Am]know our sense of timing,
we [Em]always [F]wait too [Am]long[Dm][G]

[Chorus 3]
When you [C]go will you send back
a [Dm]letter [G]from A[C]merica
Take a look up the rail track
[Dm]from Miam[G]i to C[C]anada

[C]Lewis no [G]more, [Am]Skye no [G]more
Lo[C]chaber no [G]more, [Am]Sutherland no [G]more
[C]Lewis no [G]more, [Am]Skye no [G]more
Lo[C]chaber no [G]more, [Am]Sutherland no [G]more
[C]Lewis no [G]more, [Am]Skye no [G]more

[Verse 3]
[F]I wonder my blood will you ever return
To [Am]help us kick the life back
to a dying mutual friend?
[F]'Cause do we not love her,
I think we all tell you about
[Am]Do we have to roam the world
to [Em]prove how [F]much it [Am]hurts?[Dm][G]

[Chorus 4]
When you [C]go will you send back
a [Dm]letter [G]from A[C]merica
Take a look up the rail track
[Dm]from Miam[G]i to C[C]anada
