[D] When I used [G] to come up here with my grandmother in my arm and my [C] cousins on the bus from Aberdeen
with their bandy catchers and playing the kimonos on those jeans, it was a fantastic
open space we didn't reach, but Paul and I did.
[G] And he says that 25 years ago, [C] me with the children and my mother paddling horse stories
the only walled stretch [A] has been swallowed by [C] mosquitos.
You hear us, what you've got, that's what you've said, isn't it?
[Am] [C] Remember when you swallowed a faucet, [D] you were Steve McQueen
[Am] and [C] we rode your silver crifter half the way from Aberdeen
and the whales, [D] they thought, [C] how they fought
[D]
[C] [Am] And [D] I kept on the kite in the Marongras
You [Am] know it's [D] on the skyline, commandos at the pace
[C] And the whales,
[D]
how they fought
[C] Well the tides [F] still left some waves, but against the ocean
[D] not even God himself could stop the northern leaves from blowing
[C] You can tear these jerseys under, have this wonder into yours
But your cruel [D] hands and crooked hearts, they end with loss and expense of life
But the horror will stumble in [C] to cover your eyes
The horror will stumble
[Am] [D] You see a night where blue the clouds may
[Am] And a sky [D] that's shy to sunset, scores the ground with [C] grey
And the whales, [G] [C] [F] how they [C] fought
And the [F] tides still left some [C] flows, but against the ocean
not even [D] God himself could stop the northern leaves from blowing
[F] And the tides still left some flows, but against the ocean
[C] not [G] even God himself could stop the northern [C] leaves from blowing
