INTRO: (one fast lick 1st then...) Em C G D (4x) Em
                          G
On a long dark loch, on a Uist moor

  D               Em
Before the winter turned

G                     D
We watched the circle round the moon

    C                     Em
The storm clouds gathered round

                        G
So I turned to you, but you were gone

     D                Em
So I turned for home alone

     G                   D
Over last year's rotting corn I walked

          C                 Em
Where the harvest winds had blown
CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away

        D         Em
Shadows from your door

    G       D        C       G
And my worn heart is young today

     D              Em
This darkest winter gone
INTERLUDE: (one fast lick 1st then...) Em C G D (4x) Em
                                G
Where the darkness whines on an eerie wind

       D               Em
In the hour before the dawn

   G                   D
We scanned this wasted land for life

           C                Em
All seemed void and without form

                        G
So I turned to you, but you were gone

     D                  Em
So I stood and watched alone

          G                 D
Where the doughty clouds of first light formed

      C                 Em
Their shapes across the soul
CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away

        D         Em
Shadows from your door

    G       D        C       G
And my worn heart is young today

     D              Em    F#m  G  A  Em  F#m  G  A
This darkest winter gone
INTERLUDE: (two fast licks 1st then...) Em C G D (4x)
   Em                 G
So I turned my collar to the wind

      D               Em
And I asked myself in vain

      G                  D
Did I walk out here with you today

  C            Em
Or did I come alone?

                 G
But then I saw a distant sight

  D                Em
A heart behind the grey

     G                   D
Come shining through the darkest sky

  C             Em
Establishing my way
CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away

        D         Em
Shadows from your door

    G       D        C       G
But my worn heart is young today

     D              G
This darkest winter gone
CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away

        D         Em
Shadows from your door

    G       D        C       G
But my worn heart is young today

     D              Em   
This darkest winter gone
OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)) Em C (4x)
