Runrig – Always The Winner (Guitar)

          G                        
When you close your eyes 

          D          Em         C         G    Am   C
There's a frightened pride that lives for you

          Am       D   
That your mother's life

         Am       C          D    C  D
and your father's eyes can't hide

    G           
You had no choice 

       D       Em      C        G    Am   C
didn't ask the dice to fall for you

           Am      D
Still your courage comes 

     Am      C           D     C
like thunder through the skies

        D         G  D   C
You're always the winner, 

               G     D
the victor and the giver

C                      Em D  Am
Somewhere through that winter 

                 D
you'll never be alone

C   D            Em D   C
For evermore the win....ner

              G   D    C
The taker and the giver

                       Em  D  Am
Somewhere through that winter

                  G
you will not grow old

       G
So you carry time down 

       D     Em         C         G    Am  C
The tortured line where mysteries show

        Am       D
Well hidden from life's 

        Am         C   D  C  D
Learned and life's wise

     G
Mans useless ways 

    D    Em      C    G   Am  C
And worthless conversation

         Am      D
Lie well exposed and 

Am         C    D      C
Humbled in your smile

        D         G  D   C
You're always the winner, 

               G     D
the victor and the giver

C                      Em D  Am
Somewhere through that winter 

                 D
you'll never be alone

C   D            Em D   C
For evermore the win....ner

              G   D    C
The taker and the giver

                       Em  D  Am
Somewhere through that winter

                  G
you will not grow old

          C                               G
Still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls

    C                         G
The miracle of innocence on a head of curls

      C                     Bm                       Am
We'll search every reason wherever we roam to find a place

                 D
For these broken hearts and bones

             C           G                   Em      C
We'll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summers gone

          Am                C       D         G
And we'll wait here till the war-wounded come home

        D         G  D   C
You're always the winner, 

               G     D
the victor and the giver

C                      Em D  Am
Somewhere through that winter 

                 D
you'll never be alone

C   D            Em D   C
For evermore the win....ner

              G   D    C
The taker and the giver

                       Em  D  Am
Somewhere through that winter

                  G
you will not grow old
