[Verse]
Asus2                   
It's a hazy winter's day
F#m                         D
And I'm staring out on the southland
Asus2                                
In the twilight distance on the bay
F#m                           D
My mind sees you running through the marshland

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm         D              A           E
All these years I've been waiting for you
Bm               D              A          E
Through the high tides and the low tides too
Bm             D   A        E               G
But if I stop now how could I ever be with you?

[Chorus]
        A     E    D    A E
It's a long long race
A    E           D       A E
If I try I will surely finish
        A    E    D    A E
It's a long long race
A    E           D       A E
If I try I will surely win it
D         G
One day, one night with you

[Verse]
Asus2                                  
There's a village on the lower eastern shore
F#m                                 D
Where the watermen's boats are anchored
Asus2                          
And they work so hard all day long
F#m                              D
Showing me what you want to go after

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm        D               A         E
All these years I've been pushing so hard
Bm               D              A        E
Through the high times and the low times too
Bm            D   A           E                 G
But if I stop now how could I know what I could do?

[Chorus]
        A     E    D    A E
It's a long long race
A    E           D       A E
If I try I will surely finish
        A    E    D    A E
It's a long long race
A    E           D       A E
If I try I will surely win it
D         G
One day, one night with you
