Runrig - Rocket to the Moon
 
Capo on 4th fret
 
 
Intro:
 
G  G
 
 
G             D     G
Here hangs an open landscape
G           D        Em
A wild and huge frontier
G                   D      C     G
From a harsh and a barren wasteland
G                 D                G
Through the grave to the promised field
G              D            G
You came, you trapped, you charted
G                      D          Em
You laid the railroads and the schemes
G                   D       C     G
And you tamed this land by enterprise
G            D              G
And by the power of your dreams
 
 
         Em             D
But you made this Clan great
         G                C
And you made this nation bloom
         G
And you rose
                              C
With your people through the new world
        D             G
Like a rocket to the moon
 
 
G             D     G
From the olden coasts of Ireland
G           D        Em
From the Hebridean shores
G                   D      C     G
With the forgotten chosen ones
G                 D                G
Running from Europe in droves
 
 
(Chorus)
 
 
Bridge:
 
G   C   G
Oh  ho  oh
 
 
G             D     G
There's a town in Manitoba
G           D        Em
They say the windows touch the sky
G                   D      C     G
But across the brine the shipyards close
G                 D                G
In this garden flowers die
G              D            G
Still the homelands divide us
G           D        Em
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
G                   D      C     G
But where they grieve a candle still burns
G                 D                G
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
 
 
(Chorus)
