Intro

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