Spoken lyrics:

[Asus2]Diardaoin, an ceathramh latha, dhan 'Ghiblein
Deagh latha eile. [Gsus2]Air mo chois trath. Leig mi fhein

is m'athair a-mach an crodh. Tha Alasdair a'
treabhadh thall taobh[Asus2] an iar. Dh,fhalbh sinn sios a

dh'Orasaigh, fodraigeadh nam beathaichean agus
[Gsus2]Thainig sinn air ais timcheall Cleit, a' cumail suil
a-mach airson na h-uain[Asus]. Tha[2] e math a bhi beo,
[Asus2]Tha e math a bhi beo.


[A]The light is on me
[A]All time is here
I'm g[G]oing down to Clachan
To s[D]tem the rush of years
[A]Big sky above me
[A]Powerlines overhead
I get l[G]ifted up enraptured
I keep f[D]alling at your feet
[Am]I'm looking over c[D]olourfields
[Am]Past the white sands
And our h[C]uman year[D]s
[G]And it's a[D/F#]ll waiting h[Em]ere
[Am]Breaking the s[F]eed[C][G][A]


CHORUS

[D]It's coming aga[Em]in
Gathering the w[C]ind
Returning to cl[G]aim a h[A]arvest
[D]I'm lifted where I st[Em]and
On the never-ending l[C]and
I'm coming to a s[G]ense of h[A]ome[D]

Spoken verse 2
[Asus2]Air an oidhche bha sluagh mor a-staigh agus bha
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/runrig/big_sky_crd.html )
againn ri dhol suas gu taigh Neil airson tuilleadh
Sheidhrichean.[Gsus2] Tha an teaghlach uile dhachaidh
A-neisd. A' suidhe air an sta[Asus2]idhre a coimhead air an

Uinneag. A' gheallach, an Crogaire, Loch an Aonghais.
[Gsus2]Fhad's a bha Ruairidh Sheumais a' gabhail na leabhraichean.

Tha gnothaichean caran mun aon rud.


[A]Wind through the barley
[A]Your early dream
A [G]rising choir of birdsong
Your f[D]ields of summer green
[A]It's all passing over
[A]I've no complaints
We're j[G]ust a row of unlit candles
[D]Waiting at the gate of saints
[Am]I'm living on the b[D]orderline
[Am]Between the moment
And the s[C]hining mile[D]s
[G]The fa[D/F#]r stretching st[Em]ones
[Am]All the lines of the s[F]own[C][G][A]

[D]It's coming aga[Em]in
Gathering the w[C]ind
Returning to cl[G]aim a h[A]arvest
[D]I'm lifted where I st[Em]and
On the never-ending l[C]and
I'm coming to a s[G]ense of h[A]ome[D]

[D]The light of ancient s[Em]hine
On your ordinary l[C]ives
We joyed went to the f[G]ires of ha[A]rvest
[D]So open up the l[Em]and
Open up the s[C]and
Returning ag[G]ain in Cl[A]achan[D][D]


OUTRO

[D]Falling D[G]own, falli[Bm]ng down a[A]gain[D]
Falling [G]Down again.
[Bm]Oh can't h[A]old back the feeling[D]
