As _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] I walked down [E] Buckle up on a fine spring [B] morning
_ [E] Sun fought with the icy rain [C#m] that came on that [F#] war _ _
_ [E] And all the wee birds [B] sang again
As the mountains shed their winter snow
A [E] finer sight [B] I'd never seen that [F#] day
Upon the moon, _ _ _ _ [F#] August then, I [B] trampled west
Across the hills to Inchloch long
[E] And it put my mettle to [B] the test
And [C#m] in my heart a joyful [B] [F#] song
From [E] Scotland and its [Bm] beauty wild
So many [B] years I'd been away
[E] Felt the [B] wonder on the child
[C#] That day upon the moon
[F#] _
_ _ _ [B] Before my eyes the scene changed
Man-made structures flanked the hills
[E] Towers [B] grim of concrete grey
And [C#] rose so [F#] menacing and still
I [E] wondered what these things [B] could be
[E] No reason for them could [B] I find
A [E] change of mood to [B] moor me that [F#] day
Upon the moon _ _
But a shepherd working told _ _ _ me what had happened there
To [E] make the work of many [B] men
[C#] A storehouse [B] of [F#] tomorrow's fear
[E] For in these mighty [B] caverns grim
[E] A vengeance swords [B] and rows did stand
[E] To unleash war some [B] dreadful day
With _ [C#] pain [B] and death [F#] in every land
_ [C#] Or felt so sad to [E] stand
_ In a place I once [B] loved well
Now [E] in just without permission asked
[C#] To house [B] the very teeth [F#]
of hell
But all those folk who [B] strive for peace
[E] My heart went out [B] to all of them
Our struggles on it mustn't [B] cease
I [C#m] tell you now [B] as I told myself that day upon
