Chords

[Intro] F [Verse 1]
     F
The old boys

          C
Are all leaving

    Dm   F      C
Leaving one by one

        F              Am
Where young birds go flying

    F        Dm        C
Spread your wings and run

     Gm       Dm
But over the fields

        Bb       C
By the drystone walls

    F          Gm  C   F
An eagle will come no more
[Verse 2]
    F
Welcome

          C
Were the headlands

   Dm   F    C
St Valery behind

     F           Am
No medals worth wasting

 F     Dm       C
On memories of sand

    Gm           Dm
But sweet is the breeze

Bb      C
Over Raasay

    F        Gm   C    F
The morning awaits you there
[Verse 3]
 F
What kind

   C
Of heroes

Dm    F     C
Here for us now

      F              Am
Where leaders, stone preachers

 F      Dm  C
Minnows on flow

    Gm           Dm
But low hang the lights

   Bb    C
Over Viewfield

    F               Gm  C   F
And this night will day see no more
