INTRO: C
It was winter on the Mersey
Am Snow was falling on New York C The boats were coming in from Ireland Am A nation drinking round the docks Dm Am What do you do when the rain is falling Dm Am C What do you do when the rain is falling down
Young men were heading back to Europe
Am Rocking the Reeperbahn at night C We watched the airwaves over Eval Am Angels were dancing in the light Dm Am What do you do when the sun is sinking Dm Am C What do you do when the sun is sinking low
The chains, slaves, praise and gospel
Am Burn like the sun in tortured mouths C A hurricane blew out of Memphis Am Revolution in the south Dm Am What do you do when the sun is beating Dm Am C What do you do when the sun is beating down
Spirits drink the milk of nations
Am Singing freedom and release C Cries of mercy rise like rockets Am Through the paths of the redeemed, oh ooh oh Dm Am What do you do when the guns are turning Dm Am C What do you do when the guns are turning 'round Dm Am What do you do when the guns are turning Dm Am C What do you do when the guns are turning 'round
CHORUS:
What do you do
Sing a song of the earth
F Song the earth C Song the earth
A singer in my bloodstream
Am Stayed mainline all my life C His voice filled my Atlantic Am A Celtic fire, a soul of white Dm Am What do you do when your homes are burning Dm Am C What do you do when your homes are burning down
He wore the beauty of his people
Am Came to tell it to the world C Human tears, human oceans Am The greatest song I've ever heard Dm Am What do you do when your hope is raging Dm Am C What do you do when your hope is raging strong
It was winter on the Mersey
Am Through the museum on the docks C Through all my years, through my failures Am To where the white piano stood Dm Am What do you do when the rain is falling Dm Am C What do you do when the rain is falling down
Saw all the singers of the Gaidhealtachd
Am And all the world could understand C I heard, maybe I'm a dreamer Am I'm not the only one Dm Am What do you do when the song you're singing Dm Am C What do you do when the song you're singing's gone Dm Am What do you do when the song you're singing Dm Am C What do you do when the song you're singing's gone
CHORUS: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
F Song the earth C Song the earth F Song the earth C Song the earth
