I present this finished collaboration with a lot of pleasure....outstanding contributions from the guys - Bill - with his guitars and a blinder of a solo, George - with a strong vocal capturing the mood of the lyric perfectly and Marcel - with a driving drums part full of tasty flourishes and pushes.
Then Bill was kind enough to assume mixing duties and delivered a first class mix.
Thanks guys for lending your talents to one of my songs. You've made it shine.
I'd also like to thank Bobby Watson for his initial involvement and for spotting technical deficiencies in the original bed.

You will find me there
C D
Where the ground meets the sky
D C G D
I am feeling free feeling free
D
I want to go on forever
C D
Down beside the river
D C G D
To where it's leading me leading me
C Am G
I don't know
D
I don't care
Am G C
if I'd let it go
D
I'd be there
It's the freedom to wander
Which always attracts me
I can touch it it's so near
Away from the daily life
Away from all that fighting
That goes on, on and on
I've been there
Caught in the snare
I've been in it
And I've seen it yeah
G
Man on the run
D
You go on run and hide
G D
They can't let you keep on running free
G
Man on the run
Bm
They won't let you go
CaddG
They will seek you
GaddG
They will break you
A
They will take you back inside
Asus4 A D
Oh where you can you hide
Solo : over D C G x4
You can never be happy
Never be at peace
The hunters will always be there
A few days of freedom
That's all you get
Come on back to your cage
You can laugh
You can cry
But are you free?
Oh can you fly?
Man on the run....
