Runrig - Flower of the West
[Intro] E
[Verse]
E
Sunburst
B E
On the morning moor
G#m
The light of God
A E
The heart of youth
I look around me
B A Asus4
My eyes find their rest on this garden
F#m B
The flower of the west
[Chorus]
E
The silent skies
E
An innocent heart
A G#m
Holding the moment away
F#m E
From time in the dark
E
All I see. All I know
A G#m
Is touching the sacred earth
F#m E
And warming the hallowed ground
[Bridge]
B A B F#m
Walk on Walk on
[Vocal section]
E
I survive the childhood universe
B
And I step the naked heath
E
Where the breathing of the vanished
B
Lies in acres round my feet
E
Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada
B
And the flatlands to the east
E
Where the dark blue mass of Eval
B
Meets the rising Rock of Lee
E
Between the Crogary and Maairi
B
I started to descend
E
Loch Aongais on my left hand side
B
I look across to Clett
E
Collies barking on the outrun
B
Dunlin dancing on the sand
A
Breakers show round Corran Vallique
D F#m B
And empty the Atlantic on the strand
[The rest of the verses/chorus use the same chords]
Sunrise
The colour frontier
The ageing light
The sight that knows no fear
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore
To Aloter
And the road to Ahmore
The silent skies
An innocent heart
Holding the moment away
From time in the dark
All I see. All I know
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground
Enjoy!
