Runrig - Recovery
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: G Cmaj7 G Am7 (2x) G
Am C
Watching the morning come in on the land
G
See the moon roll over Skeabost
Am C
See the young men late in the glen
G
All with camans in hand
Am
Sea winds out on the wild
C G
Sea waves crash onto Uig
Am C
See the black homes strung out in a line
G
Cross the island of Skye
CHORUS:
Am G
I can't believe that it's taking all this time
Dm C Am
I can't believe my life and my destiny
Am7
After the clans, after the clearings
D C G
Here I am, recovering
Am C
Should have been home before daylight
G
It's not easy when you're down and hungry
Am C
One from the late run, rolled up in a coat
G
I make my way across the moor
Am C
For a late summer in Eighty-Four
G
But now there's a new day dawning
Am C
I've heard the Braes men talk in Portree
G
The news from Glendale
CHORUS:
Am G
And I can't believe that it's taking all this time
Dm C Am
I can't believe my life and my destiny
Am7
After the clans, after the clearings
D C
Here I am, recovering
INSTRUMENTAL: G Cmaj7 G Am7 (2x)
G C G Am7 (2x) D C G
Am C
Still the morning comes in on the land
G
See the new sun red and rising
Am C
See the corn turn ripe in the fields
G
See the growth in the glen
Am C
And McPherson's in Kilmuir tonight
G
What a night for a people rising
Am C
And, oh god, not before time
G Cmaj7 G
There's justice in our lives
