I've been going through a Runrig spell and trying to tab as many of their songs as
I can. Contact me if there's any in particular you'd like me to try and tab.
Intro: F, G, Am, F, G
F G When you arrived in Canada you walked the streets Am F G Out of work out of money, prospects bleak F G Now the plane comes down from the morning sky Am F G and you touch the land where the fire won't die F G Johnny, you're home, man F It's a long road Am G you drove us down F G It's only a moment F Since the diesels turned
Bridge:
Am F The heath flame is burning bright Am burning every night F G It's winter in Ontario Am F The wheels that turned us village kids Am Still carry through the heaths F G They no longer turn for you
Lyrics
Now the blade cuts clean through the island soil
The years roll back and the world grows small
You stand on the banks in the wind and the rain
And all of your money can't hide this pain
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
So you hold your mother and you bless the air
With the tears of the emigrant, tongue of the Gael
And the plane takes off in a clear blue sky
Life's a long lost list of last goodbyes
(Chorus)
