Runrig - Rocket to the Moon
Capo on 4th fret
Intro: F, F
FHere hangs an Gopen lFandscape
FA wild and hGuge frontAmier
FFrom a harsh and a bGarren wFastelaFnd
FThrough the grave Gto the promised fField
FYou came, you tGrapped, you cFharted
FYou laid the railroads Gand the schAmemes
FAnd you tamed this lGand by eFnterprFise
FAnd by the poGwer of your dreFams
But you mAmade this Clan gGreat
And you mFade this nation bFloom
And you rFose
With your people through the nFew world
Like a rGocket to the mFoon
Bridge:
FOh Fho Foh
From the olden coasts of Ireland
From the Hebridean shores
With the forgotten chosen ones
Running from Europe in droves
(Chorus)
There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
In this garden flowers die
Still the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
But where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
