Runrig - Edge Of The World

runrig : edge of the world
standard tuning

i quite like this one , it’s got a nice upbeat feel to it , the chords seem quite straightforward .

for the intro i just play G chord .

G D G
all the homes on the globe are like television in your eyes
C Em C Em Am D
a cross guarding your heart the living years a sacrifice
Em C G D
a shiver at the door in the night , clouds cross a black moonlight
C D
rushing on down to the sound of a turning world

G D G
there’s a south by sou’westerly force eight coming in strong

the adrenalin infrastructure bringing on it’s troubles some more
C Em C Em Am D
all the laws of the jungle stranded on your latest shore
Em C
but the waves hold the healer force
G D
the years disappear like a ghost
C D
somewhere out of the sight of the night and the light of day

G D G
now civilisation groans and the news reel cries

like a drowning man his life in front of his eyes

the need to bare the soul at the edge of the world
