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