In A Foreign Land (CHORDS) by The Kinks
[verse 1]~
A E F#m C#m
It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax,..

I held my world in the palm of my hand!

And all of my debts were causing me to defect to a land of bananas and
sand!

So I ran,.. yes I ran,.. yes I ran to a foreign land!
A E A E A E D A
Here I am,.. here I am,.. here I am in a foreign land!
