G+G                D MajorD      G+G
We're the emigrant ones, not the last in the line
G+G              C majorC    G+G
You're your father's son. and I am mine
G+G                C majorC      G+G
And all of our northwords turn distant and small


   C majorC        G+G     D MajorD      G+G
In the end they mean nothing, no. nothing at all
G+G                    D MajorD      G+G
Right here's the river's source, and it flows out to the world
G+G                C majorC      G+G
And the heart of Caledonia is drowning in its flood
G+G                     C majorC      G+G
Was there hunger in our striving, did the light shine in our dark
   C majorC        G+G       D MajorD      G+G
Was everything we ever needed always right here from the start

G+G                      D MajorD      G+G
We stood on a hundred gangways. that's the way it's always been
G+G                C majorC    G+G
I walked out beyond Calvary with all my kith and kin
G+G                C majorC    G+G
In the war of the worlds we conquer and roam
    C majorC        G+G     D MajorD      G+G
Lie the wounds that stay bleeding and raw in the soul

G+G            D MajorD      G+G
After the raging flame, the embers burn slow
G+G                      C majorC    G+G
We're leaving. leaving. leaving, till there's nowhere left to go
G+G                      C majorC    G+G
The seas. the slums the battlefields. the shipyards. the tides
    C majorC           G+G         D MajorD      G+G
The straths, the glens. the drove roads. all the prairies and the mines
G+G                  D MajorD      G+G
It's a still. autumn morning, and it covers Loch Meig
G+G                    C majorC    G+G
And all the trees across the valley in a blaze of dying green
G+G                    C majorC    G+G
I've seen too many tail-lights, didn't need to say goodbye
      C majorC        G+G         D MajorD      G+G
We're just souls across a shrinking world in a distant starlit night

And your father's home behind
