Capercaillie - Black Fields
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am Dm F Am F G Am D Am
[Verse 1]
F G D
From a window, a vision of your world
F G Am D Am
Looks surreal in a blue and grey surround
F G D
I'm here in a corner, a picture on your screen
F G
I'm a satellite beam, a bystander
C G F
And I'm watching the ship going down
C Em F Am
With the deadliest cargo inbound
[Verse 2]
F G D
Politicians, their axe is ground and clean
F G Am D Am
Survey the scene in a well-rehearsed alarm
F G D
Stand back from the shoreline with a silver dollar smile
F G
And you put us on file, leave an island
C G F
To the curse of the spray and the spill
C Em F
Worse things happen at sea and they will
[Chorus]
Am D F G Am
And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields?
D F G Am
How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields?
D F G F G Am
I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields
[Verse 3]
F G D
All hands to the video, take a movie channel cruise
F G Am D Am
Anything but news, all cocooned we climb the stairs
F G D
Back here in the black fields, we hide behind the trees
F G
In a chemical breeze, leave a call sign
C G F
All the kings of the future will hear
C Em F
Civilization was here
[Chorus]
Am D F G Am
And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields?
D F G Am
How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields?
D F G Am
I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields
[Bridge]
To the world outside
Dm7
There was nothing more to see
And the story died
Em
And the demon keeps below the sea
Am F
And we cried and cried and cried
[Chorus]
Am D F G Am
And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields?
D F G Am
How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields?
D F G F G Am
I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields
[Outro]
F G D
From a window, a vision of your world
F G Am D
Looks surreal in a blue and grey surround
