Track 5 Wild Atlantic Way

https://soundclick.com/r/s8gt6m

There's a storm on the horizon                                            Em   F#m

Grey lines lance across the sea                                            Em   F#m

And the grasses in the wind they bend and sway  G         A          D

And the sun that all relies on                                               Em   F#m

Glimmers weak and watery                                      Em   F#m

As the waves pound at the rocks along                               G         A

the Wild Atlantic Way                                                           B

 

You can barely hear the gulls cry

For the roaring of the wind

And you know that time and tide must have their day

But you think you feel the peat sigh

As the landfall rain begins

And the whole earth seems to tremble  'long the Wild Atlantic Way

 

But still you stand there shivering                           C#m G#m 

Rooted to land                                                                       A    E

Your mind can't stop it's dithering                           C#m G#m 

Hard to understand                                                              Asus4  Bsus4

But you feel the strength beneath your feet                       C#m   G#m   A

As lightning roils in flashing sheets                         C#m   G#m   A

And power flows up and down to meet                               C#m   G#m   A

The answer's in your hand                                                   Asus4  Bsus4

 

For fast blown storms are fleeting

And the heavy rain will pass

Soon to be no more than ocean spray

Sunlight may be fleeting through

Or then again may last

Hard to judge the future on the Wild Atlantic Way

 

But then the wall of ash grey shatters

As  light cuts searing through

Life itself will go on, come what may

 

(repeat this music section)

The core of all that matters

Glistens strong and true

Maybe things will all turn out OK

 

The sun will come the rain will end

Good things are waiting round the bend

A rainbow's end to every friend

On the Wild Atlantic Way

 

 

                                    E

On the Wild Atlantic Way
