Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
A fantastic song from a fantastic band. Give it a go and give it 'laldy' as we say in Scotland. Enjoy this one that should have been tabbed ages ago. [email protected]. Bruce.
The Proclaimers - Letter from America
[Intro]
CGAmG CGAmG
[Chorus] C When you go will you send back FGC A letter from America C Take a look up the railtrack FGC From Miami to Canada
[Verse 1] F Broke off from my work the other day Am I spent the evening thinking about Am7Am All the blood that flowed away F Across the ocean to the second chance AmFG I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?
[Chorus]
F I've looked at the ocean Tried hard to imagine Am The way you felt the day you sailed Am7Am From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia F We should have held you We should have told you Am But you know our sense of timing FG We always wait too long
[Chorus]
CG lochaber no more AmG Sutherland no more CG Lewis no more AmG Skye no more...... (x3)
[Verse 2] F I wonder my blood Will you ever return Am To help us kick the life back Am7Am To a dying mutual friend F Do we not love her? Do we not say we love her? Am Do we have to roam the world FG To prove how much it hurts?
[Chorus]
CG Bathgate no more AmG Linwood no more CG Methil no more AmG Irvine no more (4 times, then last line on 4th time 'Lochaber no more')
