Runrig – Rocket To The Moon (Guitar)

G             D     G
Here hangs an open landscape

G           D        Em
A wild and huge frontier

G                   D      C     G
From a harsh and a barren wasteland

G                 D                G
Through the grave to the promised field

G              D            G
You came, you trapped, you charted

G                      D          Em
You laid the railroads and the schemes

G                   D       C     G
And you tamed this land by enterprise

G            D              G
And by the power of your dreams

         Em             D
But you made this Clan great

         G                C
And you made this nation bloom

         G
And you rose

                              C
With your people through the new world

        D             G
Like a rocket to the moon

G             D     G
From the olden coasts of Ireland

G           D        Em
From the Hebridean shores

G                   D      C     G
With the forgotten chosen ones

G                 D                G
Running from Europe in droves

G   C   G
Oh  ho  oh

G             D     G
There's a town in Manitoba

G           D        Em
They say the windows touch the sky

G                   D      C     G
But across the brine the shipyards close

G                 D                G
In this garden flowers die

G              D            G
Still the homelands divide us

G           D        Em
Like your blood red brothers of the plains

G                   D      C     G
But where they grieve a candle still burns

G                 D                G
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
