/ Rufus Wainwright / I think this song is about how "travel out to find

grass isn't to be found anywhere.
I've tried my best to arrange the chords so an acoustic guitar
is able to stand alone, but since they really aren't well-fit
for guitar, the last chords (Fmmaj7, ,b9...) are really difficult
making sound good. Remember to accentuate/intone the bass notes,
as they're very important for making it sound good.

You travel the world and find all the answers
Ev'rything operates on the unattainable
And then you hear your mother laugh attached to the phone
Could have walked around the block, cause all roads lead to home

Will you ever, ever, ever go?
