Runrig - Always The Winner

runrig – always the winner

capo on 1st fret

intro :

G , D , Em , D , C , D

G
when you close your eyes
D Em C G Am C
there’s a frightened pride that lives for you
Am D
that your mother’s life
Am C D C D
and your father’s eyes can’t hide
G
you had no choice
D Em C G Am C
didn’t ask the dice to fall for you
Am D
still your courage comes
Am C D C
like thunder through the skies

D G D C
you’re always the winner ,
G D
the victor and the giver
C Em D Am
somewhere through that winter
D
you’ll never be alone
C D Em D C
for evermore the winner
G D C
the taker and the giver
Em D Am
somewhere through that winter
G
you will not grow old

[ verse 2 is same chords as in verse 1 ]

so you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show
well hidden from life’s learned and life’s wise
mans useless ways and worthless conversation
lie well exposed and humbled in your smile

( chorus )

C G
still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls
C G
the miracle of innocence on a head of curls
C Bm Am
we’ll search every reason wherever we roam to find a place
D
for these broken hearts and bones
C G Em C
we’ll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summers gone
Am C D G
and we’ll wait here till the war – wounded come home

( chorus )

enjoy!
