[intro]
Am  G  F

[verse]
      Am
It's all there
                   G
Coming in like an arrow
                    F
Coming up over the sea
     Am
It's all there
                    G
Shining up for the season
          F
It's not why

[chorus]
     Am
It's all there
                  G
Taking it back to nothing
                     F
Every little thing I know
                     Am
Every little thing I have
                  G
Sitting up by the Ayre
                   F
Sitting with tired eyes

[verse]
     Am
It's all right
                   G
Shining up for the winter
                F
There's no work here
