[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
G
These miles of dry stone walls
C D Em
That hold, in ploughed brown fields, these kingly halls
G C
The dead of centuries in hills of sand
Bm
The stones that bind them
Am D Em
Are proud as what lies behind them
G C Am B7 Em
And varied as the counties in this curious land
[Verse 2]
G
In Cumberland they built them
C D Em
On hills that surely must have killed them
G C
Through broom and juniper and stunted ling
Bm
Two thousand feet over
Am D Em
With just a tarpaulin cover
G C Am B7 Em
They crouched in wind and rain and waited for the spring
[Verse 3]
G
In Aberdeenshire valley
C D Em
The fields were only open quarry
G C
The stones were gathered up and made to stand
Bm
But with every ploughing
Am D Em
You'd think it was stones they'd been sowing
G C Am B7 Em
The walls grew sadder here than any in the land
[Verse 4]
G
The Irish built in courses
C D Em
Of single stones the size of horses
G C
Of glacial boulders, without edge or face
Bm
But if you could view them
Am D Em
Above, the sun lighting through them
G C Am B7 Em
You'd swear the hills were edged in broken granite rays
[Verse 5]
G
When Pict and Viking took
C D Em
Stone pages from some prehistoric book
G C
A sandy flagstone under Orkney hills
Bm
Hailing there the while
Am D Em
And left history in the islands
G C Am B7 Em
This is what water, wind and time and toil reveal
[Verse 6]
G
From Yorkshire's limestone hills
C D Em
Through Derbyshire to the coast of Wales
G C
From Shetland's salty rocks to Devon lane
Bm
Just look and discover
Am D Em
Two walls that lean against each other
G C Am B7 Em
You'll never see them in quite the same way again
[Verse 7]
G
These miles of dry stone walls
C D Em
That hold, in ploughed brown fields, these kingly halls
G C
The dead of centuries in hills of sand
Bm

Am D Em
