Runrig - Flower Of The West

runrig – flower of the west

[ intro ] E

[ verse ]
E
sunburst
B E
on the morning moor
G#m
the light of god
A E
the heart of youth

i look around me
B A Asus4
my eyes find their rest on this garden
F#m B
the flower of the west

[ chorus ]
E
the silent skies
E
an innocent heart
A G#m
holding the moment away
F#m E
from time in the dark
E
all i see . all i know
A G#m
is touching the sacred earth
F#m E
and warming the hallowed ground

[ bridge ]

B A B F#m
walk on walk on

[ vocal section ]
E
i survive the childhood universe
B
and i step the naked heath
E
where the breathing of the vanished
B
lies in acres round my feet
E
loch scadavagh loch fada
B
and the flatlands to the east
E
where the dark blue mass of eval
B
meets the rising rock of lee
E
between the crogary and maairi
B
i started to descend
E
loch aongais on my left hand side
B
i look across to clett
E
collies barking on the outrun
B
dunlin dancing on the sand
A
breakers show round corran vallique
D F#m B
and empty the atlantic on the strand

[ the rest of the verses/Chorus use the same chords ]

sunrise
the colour frontier
the ageing light
the sight that knows no fear
i look over orinsay to the trumisgarry shore
to aloter
and the road to ahmore

the silent skies
an innocent heart
holding the moment away
from time in the dark
all i see . all i know
is touching the sacred earth
warming the hallowed ground

enjoy!
