Chords

[Intro] G G G G [Verse 1]
G             D    G         Gsus4
Here hangs an open landscape

G          D        Em
A wild and huge frontier

G                  D      C    G   Gsus4
From a harsh and a barren wasteland

G                 D               G     G7
Through the grave to the promised field
[Verse 2]
G             D            G       Gsus4
You came, you trapped, you charted

G                D               Em
You laid the railroads and the schemes

G                  D       C    G    Gsus4
And you tamed this land by enterprise

G                D       G     G7
And by the power of your dreams
[Chorus]
G            Em        G
But you made this Clan great

                         C
And you made this nation bloom

        G
And you rose

                             C
With your people through the new world

       D      G          G7
Like a rocket to the moon
[Verse 3]
G                     D     G   Gsus4
From the olden coasts of Ireland

G             D    Em
From the Hebridean shores

G            D     C      G   Gsus4
With the forgotten chosen ones

G              D       G      G7
Running from Europe in droves
[Chorus]
G            Em        G
But you made this Clan great

                         C
And you made this nation bloom

        G
And you rose

                             C
With your people through the new world

       D      G           G7
Like a rocket to the moon
[Link]
G     C/G   G     G
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

G     C/G   G     G
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
[Verse 4]
G              D      G    Gsus4
There's a town in Manitoba

G               D              Em
They say the windows touch the sky

G                    D       C     G    Gsus4
But across the brine the shipyards close

G              D       G   G7
In this garden flowers die
[Verse 5]
G                   D      G   Gsus4
Still the homelands divide us

G                            D      Em
Like your blood red brothers of the plains

G                       D      C     G     Gsus4
But where they grieve a candle still burns

G                       D    G     G7
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
[Chorus]
G            Em        G
But you made this Clan great

                         C
And you made this nation bloom

        G
And you rose

                             C
With your people through the new world

       D      G           G7   G
Like a rocket to the moon
[Chorus]
G            Em        G
But you made this Clan great

                         C
And you made this nation bloom

        G
And you rose

                             C
With your people through the new world

       D      G           G    G    G    G
Like a rocket to the moon
