CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: G Em G Am (2x) G
Watching the morning come [Am]in on the land[C]
See the moon roll [G]over Skeabost
See the young men [Am]late in the glen[C]
All with camans in [G]hand
Sea winds [Am]out on the wild
[C]Sea waves [G]crash onto Uig
See the black homes strung [Am]out in a line[C]
Cross the island of [G]Skye
CHORUS:
I can't be[Am]lieve that it's taking all this [G]time
I can't be[D]lieve my [C]life and my desti[Am]ny
After the clans, after the clearings
Here I [D]am, recover[C]ing[G]
Should have been home be[Am]fore daylight[C]
It's not easy when you're [G]down and hungry
One from the late run, rolled [Am]up in a coat[C]
I make my way a[G]cross the moor
For a late summer in [Am]Eighty-Four[C]
But now there's a [G]new day dawning
I've heard the Braes men [Am]talk in Portree[C]
The news from [G]Glendale
CHORUS:
And I can't be[Am]lieve that it's taking all this [G]time
I can't be[D]lieve my [C]life and my desti[Am]ny
After the clans, after the clearings
Here I [D]am, recover[C]ing
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em G Am (2x)
G C G Am (2x) D C G
Still the morning comes [Am]in on the land[C]
See the new sun [G]red and rising
See the corn turn [Am]ripe in the fields[C]
See the growth in the [G]glen
And McPherson's in Kil[Am]muir tonight[C]
What a night for a [G]people rising
And, oh god, not [Am]before time[C]
There's justice in our [G]lives [Em] [G]
