Intro

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