Intro: F#m A | D E |
F#m | D E | X3
F#mDrink and dance are spilling out and straggering in theA square
There's lads and lasses fallinDg about and a crackelling in the air
Then around the dungeon dooArs there's shelteErs in the queues
Everybody's looking for somebody's arms to fall into
F#mIt's whaDt it iEs IF#mt's what it is now D E
F#mHere's frost on the graves and the monuments but the taverns arAe warm in town ,
People curse the government and shovel hot fooDd down
Lights are out in cityhall ,the castAle and the keepE,
Moon shines down upon it all the legless and the sleepless
DCold on a tollgate where the wagons creAeping through
DCold on a tollgate God knows what I Acan do E
F#mHmm that's what it is D E It's whatF#m it is now D E
Riff1
F#mThe garnison sleeps and the citadel with the ghosts and the aAncient stones
High on the parapet the scottish pipeDrs stands alone
High on the wind the howling runAes speak of the rule E
And something from the past just comes and stares into my soul
Cold on a tollgate where the caledonian moves
Cold on a tollgate god knows what I can do with you
That's what it is (riff1) It's what it is now (riff2)
F#mThere's a chink of light as a burning wick
AThere's a lantern in the tower
DWee Willie Winkie with the candle sticks still writing songs in the mean Wee hours A E
F#mOn charlotte street they take a walking stick from my hotel A
DThe ghost of dirty dick is still in search of little nell E
That's what it is..
