[Intro]
D A D A
[Verse]
A D
The West winds blow to Coshieville
A
And with the winds came we
E7 A
And where the river hugs the wood
D A F#m
And Blackthorns bloom in May, there stood
B7 E
A single Rowan Tree
D A E7
So young and tender, so were you
A
I loved you both, as there you grew
D A F#m
The day I took the road that leads
Bm E7 A D A D
By Rannoch to the sea
[Verse]
A
We carved our names in Coshieville
D A
The Rowan leaves were still
E7 A
But the darkening West was in your eyes
D A F#m
Despite your kisses and my lies
B7 E
My thoughts had crossed the hill
D A
I broke your heart as the minutes passed
E7 A
I shrugged and said that nothing lasts
D A F#m
But many the backward glance I cast
Bm E7 A D A D A
As I went North to the drill
[Verse]
A
The big wheels rumble up and down
D A
The lorries know the way
E7 A
I waved my hand, I hitched a ride
D A F#m
We crossed the bridge at Rannoch-side
B7 E
Where the diesel motors play
D A
Then I set myself to a cliff of stone
E7 A
My ears to the boring-hammer's drone
D A F#m
But the ache inside, I rued alone
Bm E7 A D A D A
For you were far away
[Verse]
A
But the money moved from Erichts Loch
D A
And the Great Glen beckoned on
E7 A
At Norriston the hills grew pale
D A F#m
We fought and drank through old Kintail
B7 E
Till our money soon was gone
D A
And I curse Loch Aweside's autumn rain
E7 A
The winter whiskey in Dunblane
D A F#m
Till the west winds rose in the spring again
Bm E7 A D A D A
And my heart leapt at its song
[Verse]
A
Then I came at last to Coshieville
D A E7
With a dozen hills aflame
A
You had another hand to hold
D A F#m
Beneath the names we carved of old
B7 E
There was another name
D A F#m
You looked me through, you made no sign
Bm E7 A
I drank that cup of bitter wine
D A F#m
For well we knew the fault was mine
Bm E7 A D A D A
And I went the road I came
D A D A
[Verse]
A D
