Runrig - Flower of the West
[Intro] E MajorE
[Verse]
E MajorE
Sunburst
BB E MajorE
On the morning moor
G# minorG#m
The light of God
A augmentedA E MajorE
The heart of youth
I look around me
BB A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
My eyes find their rest on this garden
F# minorF#m BB
The flower of the west
[Chorus]
E MajorE
The silent skies
E MajorE
An innocent heart
A augmentedA G# minorG#m
Holding the moment away
F# minorF#m E MajorE
From time in the dark
E MajorE
All I see. All I know
A augmentedA G# minorG#m
Is touching the sacred earth
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And warming the hallowed ground
[Bridge]
BB A augmentedA BB F# minorF#m
Walk on Walk on
[Vocal section]
E MajorE
I survive the childhood universe
BB
And I step the naked heath
E MajorE
Where the breathing of the vanished
BB
Lies in acres round my feet
E MajorE
Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada
BB
And the flatlands to the east
E MajorE
Where the dark blue mass of Eval
BB
Meets the rising Rock of Lee
E MajorE
Between the Crogary and Maairi
BB
I started to descend
E MajorE
Loch Aongais on my left hand side
BB
I look across to Clett
E MajorE
Collies barking on the outrun
BB
Dunlin dancing on the sand
A augmentedA
Breakers show round Corran Vallique
D MajorD F# minorF#m BB
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
