Intro

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