Intro

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