E                                      C 
I've walked in the fields, and I've trod light for days 
D                                  F#     D         G6           E 
Seems I'll do that old rag, takes me all kinds of ways 
E                                         C 
Except the way I'd be headed if I knew where I was going 
D                          F#              D          G6         E 
But I'm from the country, and it's better not knowing 

C                     B7         E      E7        E      
And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) 
C                     B7         E      E7       E      
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) 
C                    B7       D     G6     A                 Asus2 
And I'll walk another country mile 
E 
I'll see another star 

Repeat intro 

The poplars, and willows, and birds pass me by 
The mould of the earth to the space in the sky 
Free from my roots and I'm lost in the wind 
Wind on the mountain, and the mountain's my friend 

And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) 
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) 
And I'll walk another country mile 
I'll see another star 

Hemlock and yew have me toeing the line 
Questions come knocking, I'll answer in time 
But the seams of the soil unravel with ease 
Nose to the road and I'm painfully free 

And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) 
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) 
And I'll walk another country mile 
I'll see another star 

C                   G6 
Call me the wind in the hole 
D                            E       D 
Blowing my way to the call 
E                                  D                   G6  
I'll dust up the days 'til I've gone every way 
D                                             C   G   C   G    C     G 
No less and I've never wanted mo-re, mo-re, mo-re 

Lost on the bough in a golden refrain 
Sleep goes away and the day comes again 
But the rain on my cap has me chasing a roof 
I'll be this young choice 'til I'm long in the tooth 

And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) 
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) 
And I'll walk another country mile 
I'll see another star 

And I've only got so near (Illuminate me) 
And I've only gone so far (Illuminate me) 
And I'll walk another country mile 
I'll see another star 

Illuminate me 
Illuminate me
