Intro

G C G
I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens,
C B A G
Heading out west for the Lothian Road.
G C G
An Evening News stuffed deep in his pocket,
C B A G
Wrapped up in his problems, to keep away the cold.
G C G
Grierson's spirit haunts the dockyards,
C B A G
Where the only men working are on documentary crews,
G C G
Shooting film as the lines get longer,
C B A G
As the seams run out, all the oil runs dry.
(Chorus)
G C G G A G
Hey there laddie, Internal Exile! When will you realise, we got to let go?
G C G G A G
Hey there lassie, Internal Exile! When will you realise, we got to let go?
G C G G A G
G C G
Starlings wheeling round Georgian spire,
C B A G
And the fires of Grangemouth burn the skies
G C G
A lion sleeps in a tenemant close,
C B A G
In a country that's tired and deaf to his roar.
(Chorus)
Same chords, just picked:
G C G
They bury a wasteland deep in the wildernes,
C B A G
Poison the soil and reap the harvest,
G C G
of blind indifference, greed and apathy,
C B A G
Sowed way back in our history.
G C G
The fish are few and the harbours are empty,
C B A G
The kells now rot on our oil slicked shores.
G C G
The sheep are gone, the farms deserted,
C B A G
We're out of sight and we're out of mind.
(Chorus)
G C G
Like our fathers before us, We've eyes for america,
C B A G
Dream of a new life on foreign shores.
G C G
But wherever we go, we'll always know
C B A G
that the land we stand on, is never our own.
(Chorus)
We gotta go now, ....
(Faster part)
G C B G C B
(REAL FAST)
