Runrig - Flower Of The West Chords & Tabs

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!
