End of the World
A bluesy rock number with lead guitar break
The walk across Horton Plains in Sri Lanka ends in an 880m shear drop to the plains below at the aptly named World's End. Not a safety barrier in sight... cue for a song!

I Just walked to the end of the world
Bm B7
When you get to the end of the world it’s a long way down
Em E
Did I think to jump - hell no!
A C
‘cos I’ve still got some miles to go
Em B Em
I just went there to take a good look around
I just climbed to the top of the rock
Up way beyond the lion stairs
When I was there what’d’ye think I’d do
I just went there to admire the view
You can see for miles when you’re up there
Break
A
Got to keep on pushing on –
Em
I’ve done my days of slaving
A
Got to keep on having fun,
B B7
no time for stagnating
Em
But p’rhaps a little misbehaving
I sunk down to the bottom of the pool
Watched the bubbles slowly rise
Let the fishes tweak my toes
Gave a push and up I rose
Time to move on up that’s no surprise
