The Proclaimers - Letter from America
[Intro]
C G Am G
C G Am G
[Chorus]
C
When you go will you send back
F G C
A letter from America
C
Take a look up the railtrack
F G C
From Miami to Canada
[Verse 1]
F
Broke off from my work the other day
Am
I spent the evening thinking about
Am7 Am
All the blood that flowed away
F
Across the ocean to the second chance
Am F G
I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?
[Chorus]
F
I've looked at the ocean
Tried hard to imagine
Am
The way you felt the day you sailed
Am7 Am
From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia
F
We should have held you
We should have told you
Am
But you know our sense of timing
F G
We always wait too long
[Chorus]
C G
lochaber no more
Am G
Sutherland no more
C G
Lewis no more
Am G
Skye no more...... (x3)
[Verse 2]
F
I wonder my blood
Will you ever return
Am
To help us kick the life back
Am7 Am
To a dying mutual friend
F
Do we not love her?
Do we not say we love her?
Am
Do we have to roam the world
F G
To prove how much it hurts?
[Chorus]
C G
Bathgate no more
Am G
Linwood no more
C G
Methil no more
Am G
Irvine no more (4 times, then last line on 4th time 'Lochaber no more')
as we say in Scotland. Enjoy this one that should have been tabbed ages ago.
