Intro

G# C# G#
I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens,
C# C A# G#
Heading out west for the Lothian Road.
G# C# G#
An Evening News stuffed deep in his pocket,
C# C A# G#
Wrapped up in his problems, to keep away the cold.
G# C# G#
Grierson's spirit haunts the dockyards,
C# C A# G#
Where the only men working are on documentary crews,
G# C# G#
Shooting film as the lines get longer,
C# C 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# C A# G#
And the fires of Grangemouth burn the skies
G# C# G#
A# lion sleeps in a tenemant close,
C# C 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# C A# G#
Poison the soil and reap the harvest,
G# C# G#
of blind indifference, greed and apathy,
C# C A# G#
Sowed way back in our history.
G# C# G#
The fish are few and the harbours are empty,
C# C A# G#
The kells now rot on our oil slicked shores.
G# C# G#
The sheep are gone, the farms deserted,
C# C 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# C A# G#
Dream of a new life on foreign shores.
G# C# G#
But wherever we go, we'll always know
C# C A# G#
that the land we stand on, is never our own.
(Chorus)
We gotta go now, ....
(Faster part)
G# C# C G# C# C
(REAL FAST)
