Runrig – The Message (Ukulele)

A
I'm going to dance you round the floor

A
Drink you under the tables

          F#m 
Going to take that last flight home

        E                          A
To Balivanich in the month of June

     A              
Go racing up the south ford

A
Turning midnight in the cars

            F#m
Waiting up late with the Greenock girls

       E                A
Single every song that made us

               A              E
You take your message to the waters

         A         E        A
And you watch the ripples flow

                          D
Now somewhere out on the ocean

            E                  A
Lies our fear should we grow old

A
We're going to lie down on the grass

A
Your lipstick in the clover

           F#m          
Going the marry Mary in the summertime

       E                        A
The Atlantic round our shoulders

            A
Skies are dawning ound the Langass Barpa

A
Stopped off at the white bridge waters

           F#m
It's all crossroads lined with telegraph poles

           E                  A
A rise of larksong fills the morning

               A              E
You take your message to the waters

         A         E       A
And you watch the ripples flow

      A                   D
Now somewhere out on the ocean

           E                   A
Lies our fear should we grow old

                A             E
You take your message to the waters

         A         E       A
And you watch the ripples flow

      A                     D
Now somewhere out on that ocean

         E                 A
It says Mary please don't go

A
And when we've wasted all our young years

A
Who's to say we never tried

         F#m
To live fast and honour our pledges

         E                             A
Here we vowed to stay young till we die

A
We drank the life from the last of the bottle

A
We wrote our message out like a prayer

         F#m                   
Then we threw away the message with all our hearts

         E                   A  
Then we watched our lives disappear
