CAPO: 5th Fret



[Intro]
C      F   C

[Verse 1]
            F                C
I drive the roads of East Northumberland
            F               C
Between the uplands and the sea
                     F            Am            F
Where the wind blows cold and the long grass is taking hold
       C         F                C     F   C
Of the traces of how it used to be


[Verse 2]
               F             C
The windscreen wipers beat a rhythm
               F               C
The years roll back across the plain
                      F       Am             F
And the ghosts of the men are going to their destiny
C               F                 C
Heading for the back-shift in the rain


[Verse 3]
                   F            C
You can read their names on the monument
             F         C
Their voices echo everywhere
                    F     Am               F          C
Their proud banners call, hanging on the museum wall
         F                  C
Do you remember why they're there?


[Bridge]
    F                 
And do you understand
                                           C
It's only time's shifting sands that carry on?
F                 
Do you understand
                                             C
That only time will tell, and time is moving on?


[Instrumental]
C   F   Am   F   C   F   C


[Verse 4]
           F                C
I walk the hills of West Northumberland
                F               C
And I look back east across the plain
               F             Am               F
From a ring of stones to the green fields and starter homes
      C          F               C
And a North-East wind suggesting rain


[Outro]
C  F  C     F  C     F  C     F  C7    C
