Intro

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