2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Hare On The Road (Guitar Song) by Peter Akokan

Lyrics

(D)
Hare on the road, (G)
Just like me you have no fixed abode,
(A) The light from the dawn fires up your ginger reddy fur (D)

You are as fast as a greyhound on the go, (G) how you dart with so much vigour to and fro,
(A) Oh you’re just to beautiful to die (D) you make me wanna cry (A)

(D) I think of all the hardships up ahead, (G) it just makes me feel…..soo dead, (A) but you light up my soul oh you’re just so full of life (D)

(D) You help me forget, (G) bout all the things that have been said, (A) bout how we must suffer and that there’s no joy anymore (D) (G) but now you’ve shown me a new door…….

Ohhhh, (D) hare on the road, (G) just like me you have no fixed abode, (A) the light from the dawn fires up your ginger reddy fur (D).

(D) I’ll follow you forever, (G) into that undiscovered realm, (A) so graceful and so pretty, into an unexplored film (D)

And now you’ve cleared my mind , (A)some meaning I will find,
(G)Thank you for being a friend,
Now you’ve changed me to the end (D)
