Everything But the Girl - The night i heard caruso sing

^CThe highlands and the ^Glowlands F C Em7+5 C Are the roots my father knows ^CThe holidays at ^GOban And the^C towns around Mon^Ftrose But even as he ^Csleeps They're loading ^Gbombs into the hills And ^Amthe waters ^Gin the lochs F C Em7+5 C Can run deep but never still

I^C've thought of having ^Gchildren F C Em7+5 C But I've gone and changed my mind ^CIt's hard enough to w^Gatch the news Let al^Cone explain it to a ^Fchild To cast your eye 'cross ^Cnature Over f^Gields of rape and corn And ^Amtell him without^G flinching Not to ^Ffear where he's been ^Dmborn

Then ^Csomeone sat me ^Gdown last night F C Em7+5 C And I heard Caruso sing ^CHe's almost as good as ^GPresley And if ^CI only do one thin^Fg I'll sing songs to my fat^Cher I'll sing so^Gngs to my child It's^Am time to hold your l^Goved ones While ^Fthe chains are loosed and the world Runs w^Cild

And even as we^F speak They're ^Gloading bombs onto a white train H^Fow can we afford to ever s^Gleep So sound ^Cagain
