Biography:
Capercaillie is a folk band founded in Oban, Scotland in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. They recorded their first album, Cascade, in 1984. Their 1992 EP Coisich, a Rùin was the first ever Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK Top 40 singles chart. They have also pioneered the integration of divergent styles, including some electronics and African rhythms, into their music, though it is still primarily Scottish folk music.

Capercaillie - Four Stone Walls
[Intro]
Dm G F C Dm G F C G
[Verse 1]
N.C. Dm
We are broad and ancient family
Am G Dm
Living here all our days
And though we love our scenery
Am G F
Wouldn't we just love somewhere to stay?
C G
It's an order for eviction
D Am G
And I can't believe I'm seeing what I see
[Chorus]
D G
If it kills, I will surround myself
F C D
With four stone walls
G
A little pride upon the shelf
F C G
And four stone walls around me
[Verse 2]
Dm
And they came to meet you, one and all
Am G Dm
With big words in the village hall
Getting older, looking back
Am G F
Still the fact is, nothing's changed at all
C G
Never charity we seek
D Am G
Just honest wages once a week and a place called home
[Chorus]
D G
If it kills, I will surround myself
F C D
With four stone walls
G
A little pride upon the shelf
F C G
And four stone walls around me
[Bridge]
F Am
To whom it will concern within your office
Bb
Wouldn't you wish more than this, a caravan
Dm7
Pushed aside, forgotten land
G
For me and my kind
[Instrumental]

F C G
And four stone walls around me
[Chorus]
D G
If it kills, I will surround myself
F C D
With four stone walls

A little pride upon the shelf

And four stone walls around me
