D5

Verse::

   D            Am7
Cold wind on the harbour and rain on the road,
  D            G
Wet promise of winter brings recourse to coal.
    F            D       G
There's fire in the blood and a fog on Bras d'Or
  F     C       D
The giant will rise with the moon.

Verse::

     D             Am7
'Twas the same ancient fever in the Isles of the Blest,
     D             G
That our fathers brought with them when they "went West".
     F            D      G
It's the blood of the Druids that never will rest
  F     C       D
The giant will rise with the moon.

Chorus::

  F     C   D   C      G
So crash the glass down! move with the tide!
   F              G     D
Young friends and old whiskey are burning inside,
F      C  D   C      G  G/A G
Crash the glass down! Fingal will rise...
     F D
With the moon.

Verse::

  D           Am7
In inclement weather the people are fey,
   D              G
Three thousand year stories as the night slips away.
 F           D     G
Remembering Fingal feels not far away...
  F     C       D
The giant will rise with the moon.

Verse::

  D                Am7
The wind's in the north, there'll be new moon tonight,
  D          G
And we have no circle to dance in its sight.
  F                     D        G
So light a torch, bring bring the bottle, and build the fire bright!
  F      C      D
The giant will rise with the moon.

Chorus::

  F     C   D   C      G
So crash the glass down! move with the tide!
                      D
Young friends and old whiskey are burning inside,
                  G G/A G
Crash the glass down! Fingal will rise...
     F D
With the moon.

Verse::

  D            Am7

There's fire in the blood and a fog on Bras d'Or

The giant will rise with the moon.
