1. Well it's not far down to paradise. At least it's not for me.
2. It's not far to never never land. No reason to pretend.
4. It's not far back to sanity. At least it's not for me.

And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility.
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again.
And when the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity.

Thank you very much for this TAB as I have been looking for it for a long time. I have searched high and low for it all over the web and I finally found it at your site.
YEEHAAA!!!!!
once again thankl\'s alot.
This is a very difficult tab to find and I appreciate you putting it out there for all of us to share!
Peace out.
Thank you so much, this tab is impossible to find! Awesome!
mr. S.M. Harris,
you're generosity is very much appreciated. thank you for sharing this tablature. they're right, this piece is quite hard to find.
helen
Well the capo had me beat!
Great work, I just turn the
chorus on with headphones
and voila, Larry Carlton (it
sounds like him)
Like the others, I have been looking for a very long time for this tab. Thank you so much. I saw it performed by Jill Scott on DirecTVs Music in High Places, and recalled just how much I loved the song. As wierd as this may sound, this is the song I would like played while my family scatters my ashes out in the Gulf of Mexico!!!!! LATER
dude I'm totally gonna be able to swoon hot chicks with this in my repertoire! You are so arctic, wintergreen bubblegum cool!
This song is amazingly awesome, as are you for tabbing it out. I would give you a big hug if I could. This song makes my friend Calen all teary eyed, so I am going to play it at his wedding in twenty years, since he will probably be single till then. Thanks again!
Very nice tab. Thank You.
