VERSE (same chords as verse 1)
Honest and Manuel, well you know,
They're at school now, given the chance that their father's never seen,
To see what's beyond Section 17
And in ten years, when you look back at your boys,
Well you know they've grown way taller than the tallest,
Sugar cane in the field.

VERSE
And I see your wife, she stands stooped over by the fire outside
And I see your boys, and when they look up
You know I think they got their mother's eyes
Cause she looks so proud D A
She looks so hapDpy E
She looks so pDroud A
She looks so haDppy E
Yeah!

Distance is Eshort when yourF#m hand Ecarries Dwhat your eye found A
