Verse 1
(C major) The highlands and the (G major) lowlands
Are the roots (F major) my father (C major) knows
The holidays at (G major) Oban
An (C major) d the towns around Mon (F major) trose
But even as he (C major) sleeps
They're loading (G major) bombs into the hills
And the (A minor) waters in the loch (G major) s
Can run (F major) deep but never still
(G major) (C major)
Verse 2
I've thought of having (G major) children
But I've gone (F major) and changed (C major) my mind
It's hard enough (G major) to watch the news
Let alone (C major) explain it to a child (F major)
To cast your eye 'cross (C major) nature
(A minor) Over fields (G major) of rape and corn
And (A minor) tell him without flinching (G major)
Not to (F major) fear where he's been born
(D minor) (G major) (F major) (G major) (D minor) (G major) (F major) (D minor) (G major)

Verse 3
(C major)
Then someone sat me down (G major) last night
And I (F major) heard Caruso (C major) sing
He's almost as good as (G major) Presley
And if I (C major) only do (G major) one (F major) thing
I'll sing songs to my (C major) father
I'll sing (G major) songs to my child
It's (A minor) time to hold your loved (G major) ones
While the chains (F major) are loosed and the world
Run (C major) s wild
Interlude 1
(G major) (F major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (F major)
Verse 4
And even as we (C major) speak
They're loading (G major) bombs
onto a white train
(A minor) How can we afford (G major) to ever (F major) sleep
So sound (C major) again (G major) (C major)
