(R and C majorC MacDonald) from the 2016 Album The Story


[Intro]

G+G  G+G  G+G  G+G


[Verse 1]

G+G             E minorEm           G+G
I'm backing up the lorry, can't wait for night to come
G+G               E minorEm        G+G
I'm sweeping out the back yard on a Friday afternoon
G+G               E minorEm       G6G6     E minorEm
We'll gather round the players and we'll head off for the stars
C majorC         D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4     G+G
Pack the van with poetry, drums and the guitars

[Verse 2]

G+G                E minorEm       G+G
We'll take Billy for the whisky, Willie for the door
G+G                   E minorEm         G+G
We'll take Mary Kate and Lizzy for the dancing round the floor
G+G              E minorEm     G6G6   E minorEm
We'll turn this empty hall into city full of lights
C majorC          D MajorD         Dsus4Dsus4      G+G
And lift the summer spirits through the passing of the night


[Chorus]

C majorC     D MajorD      C majorC     G+G
There was laughing, and there were tears
C majorC         E minorEm      B minorBm   D MajorD
There were so many shattered hopes and dreams
C majorC       D MajorD      C majorC  G+G
But there was treasure and 40 years
G+G       D MajorD        G+G
In the place where the rivers run


[Verse 3]

G+G               E minorEm         G+G
We'll hammer on the two-step, we'll lay it on the snare
G+G            E minorEm        G+G
Romancing the accordion, waltzing out the aires
G+G            E minorEm     G+G      E minorEm
These sacred swaying anthems, within our lover's grasp
C majorC          D MajorD      Dsus4Dsus4      G+G
Stripping down the willow to the footsteps of the past

[Chorus]

C majorC     D MajorD      C majorC     G+G
There was laughing, and there were tears
C majorC         E minorEm      B minorBm   D MajorD
There were so many shattered hopes and dreams
C majorC       D MajorD      C majorC  G+G
But there was treasure and 40 years
G+G       D MajorD        G+G
In the place where the rivers run


[Instrumental]

G+G  C majorC  G+G  D MajorD
G+G  C majorC  G+G  D MajorD  G+G


[Bridge]

G+G              C majorC     E minorEm
We were kings and queens, the reels go round
E minor 7Em7              C majorC    D MajorD
It's the badge of our culture, say it loud
     C majorC     D MajorD      C majorC      G6G6
And it's all in the gift of the young and the proud
G+G           D MajorD   G+G
In the place where the rivers run


[Verse 4]

G+G                E minorEm       G+G
We're loading out the back door, now the hour is come
G+G                 E minorEm          G+G
Driving through the black hills with the red and rising sun
G+G                E minorEm   G6G6    E minorEm
There's a river and a distance, far as eyes can see
C majorC         D MajorD         Dsus4Dsus4  G+G
Home by Kyle and Broadford round by Memphis Tennessee
