[Verse 1]
D A Bm
One day as I was walking by the shores of Loch Indaal
G A D
I met a man with sadness in his eyes.
D A Bm
The story was as haunting as the lonely seabird's call
G A Bm
And he told me of the day he wept and walked away
D A D
As he watched the fire at Bruichladdich die.
[Verse 2]
D A Bm
He told me of a place once would never sleep
G A D
With hiss of steam and clang and furnace roar
D A Bm
And how that sleeping beauty lies trapped in slumber deep
G A Bm
The moonbeams full of dust and gates in chains of rust
D A D
And ghosts that wander the Bruichladdich floor.
[Chorus]
G D A D
And the moon smiles kindly on the western seas
Bm A
Perfume tumbles on the midnight breeze
G D A D
And standing on the island of distilleries
Bm A D
You can almost see the coast of heaven.
[Verse 3]
D A Bm
Here I stand again after years have gone by
G A D
With a Bruichladdich in my hand once more
D A Bm
That reminds me of the magic of a moonlit sky
G A Bm
The way it catches light and smells of summer nights
D A D
And the sea that touches the Bruichladdich shore.
[Chorus]
G D A D
And the moon smiles kindly on the western seas
Bm A
Perfume tumbles on the midnight breeze
G D A D
And standing on the island of distilleries
Bm A D
You can almost see the coast of heaven.
[Verse 4]
D A Bm
So I'll drink to the men who saw a tiny spark
G A D
And thought that they could turn it to a flame
D A Bm
The men who chased the dream and dragged it from the dark
G A Bm
To see the light of day and fought to find a way
D A D
To bring new meaning to the Bruichladdich name.
[Chorus]
G D A D
And the moon smiles kindly on the western seas
Bm A
Perfume tumbles on the midnight breeze
G D A D
And standing on the island of distilleries
Bm A D
You can almost see the coast of heaven,
Bm A D
You can almost see the coast of heaven.
