Chords and lyrics for 1000 Miles Away by Hoodoo Gurus (key of A).
Primeira Parte
[A] Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a.m[D]
Been [A]up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even [D]begin
[E](Now you're flying) [F#m]I got so much [Bm7]work in front of [E]me
(Really flying) it [F#m]stretches out far [Bm7]as the eye [A]can see
I can [D]see
Spend [A]half my life in airports
Doing crosswords and attempting to [D]sleep
And [A]when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a [D]seat
[E] (Now you're flying)[F#m] I never find a [Bm7]place where I can [E]stay
(Really flying) [F#m] I'd rather be a [Bm7]thousand miles [A]away
Thousand miles [D]away

Segunda Parte
[A]Working for yourself sometimes ain't all
That it's [A4]cracked [A]up to [D][D7M]be[D7M][D]
It can be as [A]lonely at the top
As at the bottom of [A4]that [A]corporate [D][D7M]tree[D7M][D]
[E] (Now you're flying)[F#m] I'm told I'm going [Bm7]places who can [E]say?
(Really flying)[F#m] I might arrive but I'll be [Bm7]gone
The very next [A]day
I must be [A4]on [A]my [D][D7M]way[D7M][D]
[A] A [A4]thousand [A]miles [D][D7M]away[D7M][D]

Terceira Parte
[A]Promised to myself someday
I'd take the time and [A4]try to [A]make [D][D7M]sense[D7M][D]
Out of [A]all those opportunities
I've lost from trying to [A4]sit [A]on the [D][D7M]fence[D7M][D]
[E] (Now you're flying)[F#m] but right now
I've got no [Bm7]time for [E]yesterday
(Really flying) [F#m]yesterday is a [Bm7]thousand miles [A]away
A [A4]thousand [A]miles [D]away
A [D7M][D]tho__usand [D7M]miles [A]away
A [A4]thousand [A]miles [D]away
A [D7M][D]tho__usand [D7M]miles [E]away
(Now you're flying)[F#m] what was that that [Bm7]you were trying to [E]say?
I [F#m]guess I was a [Bm7]thousand miles [A]away, [A4]away[A]
( D D7m D D7M )
