Chord/Tab song: Promised Land

CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: C

On a bright Sep[F]tember [C]day in [G]fall
We [F]sailed away from Montre[C]al
And I hung u[F]pon the [C]railing [G]high
And I [F]waved the world I knew good[C]bye
[G]Sailed from home a[F]cross the [C]sea
The [G]other side, the [F]heart of [C]me
And I just [F]stood and [C]waved my [G]hand
In [F]my world in the promised [C]land

And we ran like [F]hares, [C]ran through the [G]close
[F]Doon tae the burn, in [C]spate it rose
We stood on the [F]bridge by the [C]bowling [G]green
[F]laughed our words in steady [C]streams
The [G]arc of stone a[F]cross the [C]river
And a [G]moment hung in [F]time for[C]ever
And the [F]sun shone [C]on us, every [G]man
In [F]my world in the promised [C]land

Night came [F]black, with [C]death a[G]dorning
[F]Grampa's dead and Granny's [C]mourning
Brithers and [F]sisters [C]all came [G]doon
[F]Sat there greeting in the living [C]room
The [G]emptiness of [F]what was [C]left
We [G]sat there in that [F]house of [C]death
And we hung our [F]heads and [C]wrung our [G]hands
In [F]my world in the promised [C]land

So I never [F]saw him [C]lying [G]there
I [F]never climbed the scaffold [C]stair
My father [F]left it [C]up to [G]me
To [F]choose to see or not to [C]see
But [G]death's a road we [F]walk a[C]lone
But I [G]read the words u[F]pon the [C]stone
He's sitting [F]still, his [C]pipe in [G]hand
In [F]my world in the promised [C]land
Oh, he's sitting [F]still, his [C]pipe in [G]hand
Oh, in [F]my world in the promised [C]land
