Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)
Eternity - Words and Music by Dougie MacLean
--------------------------------------------
Most, if not all, of Dougie's songs are played in open tunings on the guitar. I have transcribed this,
along with a few more of his songs, in standard tuning to allow for easier learning.
Intro:
C# minorC#m BB
Verse:
E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
This is really not my home, Oh where are you my love-ly Jen-ny?
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
I'm afraid and all alone, There is no peace for me
E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
And I'm sitting in the stran-ger's room, Playing at the stran-ger's ta-ble
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Shining empty like the moon, There's no peace for me
Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB C# minorC#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB E MajorE
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Distant and so far away, There's no peace for me
Verse:
E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
I'm blinded by your city lights, I wander through these fear-ful pla-ces
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
The colours fade to black and white, There is no peace for me
E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
And these are not the friends I know, These are not their smi-ling fa-ces
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
A augmentedA desert that no-one should know, There's no peace for me
Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB C# minorC#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB E MajorE
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Distant and so far away, There's no peace for me
Verse:
E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
Now I know and feel it well, Poor immi-grants' deep sun-ken fee-ling
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Standing at the gates of Hell, There is no peace for me
E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE
Burned out by their mas-ter's greed, Cruel exile trans-portation
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Robbed of every love and need, There is no peace for me
Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE BB C# minorC#m
But in the darkness struggle cold, I think a-bout a garden val-ley
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB E MajorE
Gentle as the leaves unfold, Singing out along the Tay
BB C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Distant and so far away, There's no peace for me
Outro:
C# minorC#m BB E MajorE
