Most, if not all, of Dougie's songs are played in open tunings on the guitar. I have transcribed
 this,
along with a few more of his songs, in standard tuning to allow for easier learning.

[Intro]
C#m B

[Verse]
E              B          E              A           E      B   E
This is really not my home, Oh where are you my love-ly Jen-ny?
               B        C#m A                B      E
I'm afraid and all alone,   There is no peace for me
E                            B         E         A            E        B   E
And I'm sitting in the stran-ger's room, Playing at the stran-ger's ta-ble
                  B        C#m A                B      E
Shining empty like the moon,   There's no peace for me


[Chorus]
    A      E        B        E     A         E      B          C#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E             B            E             B             E
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
                  B    C#m  A               B       E
Distant and so far away,    There's no peace for me

[Verse]
E                   B          E          A                  E       B   E
I'm blinded by your city lights, I wander through these fear-ful pla-ces
                    B            C#m A                B      E
The colours fade to black and white, There is no peace for me
E                            B      E           A             E       B   E
And these are not the friends I know, These are not their smi-ling fa-ces
                    B          C#m  A                B      E
A desert that no-one should know,   There's no peace for me


[Chorus]
    A      E        B        E     A         E      B          C#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E             B            E              B             E
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
                  B    C#m  A               B       E
Distant and so far away,    There's no peace for me

[Verse]
E              B           E           A                E       B   E
Now I know and feel it well, Poor immi-grants' deep sun-ken fee-ling
                B           C#m  A                B      E
Standing at the gates of Hell,   There is no peace for me
E                       B          E       A           E        B   E
Burned out by their mas-ter's greed, Cruel exile trans-portation
                    B       C#m  A                B      E
Robbed of every love and need,   There is no peace for me


[Chorus]
    A      E        B        E     A         E      B          C#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E             B            E              B             E
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
                  B    C#m  A               B       E
Distant and so far away,    There's no peace for me
