The Old Boys

Intro:  F 


     F 
The old Boys 
          C 
Are all leaving 
    Dm   F      C 
Leaving one by one 
        F              Am 
Where young birds go flying 
    F        Dm        C 
Spread your wings and run 
     Gm       Dm 
But over the fields 
        Bb       C 
By the drystone walls 
    F          Gm  C   F 
An eagle will come no more 


(Repeat for other verses) 




Welcome 
Were the headlands 
St Valery behind 
No medals worth wasting 
On memories of sand 
But sweet is the breeze 
Over Raasay 
The morning awaits you there 

What kind 
Of heroes 
Here for us now 
Where leaders, stone preachers 
Minnows on flow 
But low hang the lights 
Over Viewfield 
And this night will day see no more.
