Lyrics
You’re out of the woods.
You’re out of the (Eb)dark.
You’re out of the night.
Step in to the sun, step in to the (Eb7)light.
Keep straight a head for the most (Ebdim)glo ri ous place on the (Eb)face of the earth or the (Bb)sky.
You’re out of the woods.
You’re out of the (Eb)dark.
You’re out of the night.
Step in to the sun, step in to the (Eb)light.
March up to the gate and bid it
o pen,
o pen.
