This is one of my favorite Kings of Convenience songs. I noticed that the other tabs
out some parts of this song, so I went ahead and tabbed out the full song. If you notice

Song Order / Lyrics:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 1 (Through the alley ways, to cool off in the shadows)
Part 2 (Then into the street, following the water)
Part 1 (There's a bearded man, paddling in his canoe)
Part 2 (Looks as if he has, come all the way from the Cayman Islands)
Part 1
Part 2
Part 1 (These canals it seems, they all go in circles)
Part 2 (Places look the same, and we're the only difference)
Part 1 (The wind is in your hair, it's covering my view I'm ...)
Part 2 (... holding onto you, on a bike we've hired until tomorrow)
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Part 1 (If only they could see, if only they had been there)
Part 2 (They would understand, how someone could have chosen)
Part 1 (To go the length I've gone, to spend just one day riding)
Part 2 (Holding onto you, I never thought it would be this clear)
Part 1
Part 2
Part 1
Part 2
Part 1
Part 2
Part 1
Part 2
End on first note of part 1
It's difficult to distinguish the other guitar part playing over the main guitar, but it
something like this. It is played somewhat fast. Each of the below measures are played
each.

What a great song. Reminds us all that sometimes we just need to enjoy the simplicity of
especially when it comes to love.
