Runrig - The Message

runrig – the message

intro : A

A
i’m going to dance you round the floor
A
drink you under the tables
F#m
going to take that last flight home
E A
to balivanich in the month of june
A
go racing up the south ford
A
turning midnight in the cars
F#m
waiting up late with the greenock girls
E A
single every song that made us

A E
you take your message to the waters
A E A
and you watch the ripples flow
D
now somewhere out on the ocean
E A
lies our fear should we grow old

A
we’re going to lie down on the grass
A
your lipstick in the clover
F#m
going the marry mary in the summertime
E A
the atlantic round our shoulders
A
skies are dawning ound the langass barpa
A
stopped off at the white bridge waters
F#m
it’s all crossroads lined with telegraph poles
E A
a rise of larksong fills the morning

A E
you take your message to the waters
A E A
and you watch the ripples flow
A D
now somewhere out on the ocean
E A
lies our fear should we grow old
A E
you take your message to the waters
A E A
and you watch the ripples flow
A D
now somewhere out on that ocean
E A
it says mary please don’t go

A
and when we’ve wasted all our young years
A
who’s to say we never tried
F#m
to live fast and honour our pledges
E A
here we vowed to stay young till we die
A
we drank the life from the last of the bottle
A
we wrote our message out like a prayer
F#m
then we threw away the message with all our hearts
E A
then we watched our lives disappear

( chorus )

enjoy!
