Not enough Runrig on here, so here's one of my favourites. From the "Big Wheel" album. (verse 1)
F                        G                      F       F F F
When you close your eyes there's a frightened pride that lives for you

Dm                 G               Dm     F          G  F G
That your mothers life and your father's eyes can't hide.

     F                   G               F         F  F F
You had no choice didn't ask the dice to fall for you

Dm                 G           Dm      F             G  F G
Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies
(Chorus 1)
        G          F  G F G                   F G  F G   
You're always the winner, the victor and the giver

F G  Dm       F         F   G 
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old
(verse 2)
         F                 G                   F         F CG               
So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show

      Dm    G          Dm       F          G  F G
Well hidden from lifes learned and life's wise

       F               G               F    F  F F
Man's useless ways and worthless conversations

   Dm        G       Dm        F        G  F           
Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile
(Chorus 2)
        G          F  G F    G                F G   F G
You're always the winner, the victor and the giver

        G               F G  Dm     F           G    F                 
Somewhere through that winter, you'll never be alone

    G             F G   F   G               F G  F G
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver

                         F G   Dm       F         F  G         
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
(Bridge)
      Dm                                    F
Still you run out in the morning, with the boys and girls

   F                        F
A miracle of innocence on a head of curls

      Dm                  F
We'll search every reason wherever we roam

     Dm                          G
To find a place for these broken hearts and bones

   F                       F                   Dm       F
We'll keep a fire on the hillside, after the summer's gone

          Dm                F                   F    G      
And we'll wait her for the war-wounded to come home.
(Chorus 3)
        G          F G  F  G                 F G   F G
You're always the winner, the victor and the giver

                        F G  Dm      F          G    F
Somewhere through that winter, you'll never be alone

   G               F G  F G                F G   F G
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver

                        F G  Dm       F          F                        
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
