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