Intro  ( See tab )

It's time to go Jenny   No need to close the door
A                Asus4      A      AMaj7       D
What if the dust gets in the house   it doesn't matter anymore
A                      Asus4                      A     AMaj7  D
You and the dust have been at war for far too many years
Bm                    E                A       AMaj7  D
Now the war is over                  Jenny dear

Lea----------ving the land          Lea-----------ving the land
A    AMaj7 F#m A     AMaj7 D          A AMaj7 F#min A            AMAj7 D
Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am
                  E             A     AMaj7   D
Leaving the land
E            A    ( as intro )

Remember when I brought you here   those long bright days ago
For all that time you've been my heart   and this land has been my soul
The long bright days are over now   but still my heart beats on
But Jenny dear             the soul has gone


Lea----------ving the land          Lea-----------ving the land
Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am
Leaving the land


It's time to go Jenny   Drive quickly down the track
We'll never see what lies ahead   if we keep on looking back
Behind us is just an empty house  old memories and ghosts
And our small dreams         gathering dust


Lea----------ving the land          Lea-----------ving the land
Leaving all I've ever been and every thing I am
Leaving the land
