Runrig - The Story 2016 (From the album of the same name) Written by Callum & Rory MacDonald [Intro] C C Am G F C G G [Verse 1]
C                    Am       G
Sfhada sfhada an coel a bha cho binn

F             C              G
saghrian a dh'eirich air mo chridhe

       C                  Am               G
guth man cun gar dusgadh bho chadal aillidh ciuin

F              G           C
sgach uile samhradh eile a dh'fhalbh
[Chorus]
    F         G         C             Em  
And i'm still dreaming of the hebrides

    F         C              D7    G    Em
and i'm still leaning on the early years

    F           G       C        G      F
and i cant help feeling it will always be

    F            G              C
the story of the life inside of me
[Instrumental] C Am G F C G Gsus4 G [Verse 2]
C                  Am       G
Achadh abach eorna s seagal fas

F          C          G
loch nan ealachan aig tamh

C                    Am                       G
be siud an dealbh a dh fhan fad an t-samrhraidh sin dhuinn

F            G               C
s'gach uile samhradh eile a dh'fhalbh
[Chorus]
    F         G          C           Em   
And i'm still dreaming of the hebrides

    F         C              D7    G      Em
and i'm still leaning on the early years

    F           G       C        G     F
and i cant help feeling it will always be

    F             G             C
the story of the life inside of me
[Instrumental] C Am G F C G Gsus4 G C Am G F C G Gsus4 [Verse 3]
F                   C              G       Gsus4 G
S'mi an-diugh a'streap beanntan ard nam bliadhn

F             C               F        Gsus4  G
le gach smal is sgaradh air an t-saoghal

G            C           G             Am
ach thig le cinnt la na h-aiseirigh dhuinn

       F           G                    C
mar a thainig la a chiad fhairich mi do ghaol
[Chorus]
    F         G         C            Em  
And i'm still dreaming of the hebrides 

    F         C              D7    G  Em
and i'm still leaning on the early years

    F         G        C        G       F
and i cant help feeling it will always be

    F              G            C
the story of the life inside of me
[Instrumental] C Am G F C G Gsus4 G [Outro]
C             Am          G        
The Story     The Story   

F             C           G     Gsus4  G       
The Story      

C             Am          G        
The Story     The Story   

F             C           G     Gsus4  G      
The Story      
C Am G F C G Gsus4 G ------------------------------------------ [Verse Translation]
F           C                  G           Gsus4    G
So long ago,long ago the music that was so melodious

F           C            F       Gsus4  G
and the sun that rose on my heart

G                      C            G             Am
the voice of the birds awakening us from sleep of peace

          F        G           C
early and prepared for the journey

F          C            G              Gsus4  G
A ripening field,the barley and rye growing

F           C             F   Gsus4   G
the loch of swans in stillness

G                  C                        F     Gsus4 G
that was the image that stayed with us that summer

          F            G            C
and every other summer that's since gone

F           C            G           Gsus4  G
But now i'm climbing the mountain of years

F                 C                    F        Gsus4  G
with each blemish and schism coming of the world

G              C             G           Am
but the day of renewal will come with certainty

              F          G               C
just like the day when i first felt your love
