This is in the database "from the singing of Buffy St. Marie" with no author noted- its by Pat Sky, as follows:

MANY A MILE
(Patrick Sky)

I've damn near walked this world around
Another city, another town
Another friend to say goodbye
Another girl to sit and cry

CH: And its many a mile I have spent on this road
Its many a mile I have gone.

Now there was one who knew mw best
You know she gave my poor heart rest
She was my world, my heart, my dear
And now she's gone to God knows where

CH.

I've seen your towns, they're all the same
The only difference is in a name
And the only home I've ever knowed
Was a suitcase and the open road

CH.

So I'll fill my glasses up to the brim
And through my glass, my world looks dim
But I know outside there's light somewhere
Maybe my ramblin' will get me there

CH. plus-
And its many a mile I have spent on this road
And many a mile I will go.

Thanks Greg....I made a note of this in the Sep.Blues thread and had not yet started a thread to make the change. Thanks for being so prompt.

Whoops! Sory 'bout that,'Spaw- thought I'd searched the threads pretty carefully; guess not.

Best, Greg

Thanx, Greg, for posting this beautiful song. Patrick Sky's first album is out on CD. Run, don't walk...to your music store.

Does anybody have the music/Tab/chords? I'd love to learn to play this one, just as much as I would love to learn "Separation Blues".

Awhile back I ran across this site which I meant to post and didn't....Never too late. Here's a page with four of Pat's songs you can listen to....including "Many a Mile"
