CAPO: 1st Fret 


Intro: G   Em   G   Am  (2x)  G 

                          Am              C 
Watching the morning come in on the land 
                  G 
See the moon roll over Skeabost 
                  Am                C 
See the young men late in the glen 
                   G 
All with camans in hand 


          Am               
Sea winds out on the wild 
C         G 
Sea waves crash onto Uig 
                           Am             C 
See the black homes strung out in a line 
                    G 
Cross the island of Skye 


          Am                              G 
I can't believe that it's taking all this time 
          D        C                Am 
I can't believe my life and my destiny 

After the clans, after the clearings 
       D          C      G 
Here I am, recovering 


                        Am             C 
Should have been home before daylight 
                          G 
It's not easy when you're down and hungry 
                              Am            C 
One from the late run, rolled up in a coat 
               G 
I make my way across the moor 


                     Am           C 
For a late summer in Eighty-Four 
                  G 
But now there's a new day dawning 
                         Am               C 
I've heard the Braes men talk in Portree 
              G 
The news from Glendale 


 
              Am                              G 
And I can't believe that it's taking all this time 
          D        C                Am 
I can't believe my life and my destiny 

After the clans, after the clearings 
       D          C     
Here I am, recovering 


Instrumental: G   Em   G   Am  (2x) 
              G   C   G   Am  (2x)  D  C   G 


                        Am              C 
Still the morning comes in on the land 
                G 
See the new sun red and rising 
                  Am                  C 
See the corn turn ripe in the fields 
                      G 
See the growth in the glen 


                      Am            C 
And McPherson's in Kilmuir tonight 
                   G 
What a night for a people rising 
                 Am           C 
And, oh god, not before time 
                       G       Em   G 
There's justice in our lives
