CHORDS
Intro:
G, G, G, G,
Em, Em, D, D, x4 (play over Intro part one)
Em, C, G, D, x2 (play over intro part two)
Am G
A prairie and a wind
Am
Canada on the wire
G D
I'm trading all my fears
Em C
And all my desires
Am G
I watch your sun go down
Am C D
A burning amber road
G D
Following the ghosts
Em C
Wherever they go
'S chan fhaic mi cladach geal
No achadh cruithneachd 'fas
Gun sealladh mor de chradh
'S dealbh de bhas
A window on the stars
the journey of the few
Watching it all survive
It's all I can do
------
(Translation of the gaelic verse)
And I cannot see a white shore
Or a field of wheat growing
without the vision of suffering
and the picture of death
