Standard tuning, capo 3
[Verse 1]
A E A A
There was a barn owl trapped in the rafters.
A E A A
The ground underneath us was wet and cold.
A E
We heard the owl thrashing about,
A D
Trying desperately to get out.
A E A A
We stood outside and watched the night unfold.
[Chorus]
A E A A
We watched the sun go down on Scotland,
A A E E
and I watched the moon come up over you.
A A
When a pack of dogs went silently past us,
D D
We knew we'd been given fair warning,
A E A A
but that was the only thing we knew.
[Verse 2]
A E A A
And you threw all your luggage out onto the water.
A E A A
And I tore the shirt away from my back.
A E
The cold came on with a new found in-tensity,
A D
And you pressed your warm body against me.
A E A A
And I loved you so much it was making me sick.
[Verse 3]
A E A A
And we watched the sun go down on Scotland,
A A E E
We were glad that we'd left Oklahoma behind.
A A
I took your hips in my hands and I threw you down
D D
To the new found rich brown deep wet ground.
A E A A
Had a vision of you, burning on my mind.
[Chorus]
A E A A
We watched the sun go down on Scotland,
A A E E
and I watched the moon come up over you.
A A
When a pack of dogs went silently past us,
D D
We knew we'd been given fair warning,
A E A A
but that was the only thing we knew.
