The Old Ways

Em                Bm             
  The thundering waves are 
      C                Am
calling me home (me home) to you
Em             Bm             
  The pounding sea is calling me 
    C                Am
home (me home) to you

Em                      Bm
  On a dark new year's night
                        C
  On the west coast of Clare
                Am
  I heard your voice singing
Em                      Bm
  Your eyes danced the song
                         C
  Your hands played the tune
                   Am
  T'was a vision before me.

Em                    Bm         
  We left the music behind and 
                 C
the dance carried on
Continúa después del anuncio
               Am
  As we stole away to the seashore
Em              Bm               
  We smelt the brine, felt the 
           C
wind in our hair
                        D (riff1)
  And with sadness you paused.

              Em                   
  Suddenly I knew that you'd have 
  Bm
to go
                     C             
  My world was not yours, your eyes
         Am
 told me so
              Em             
  Yet it was there I felt the 
               Bm
crossroads of time
                  C     D
  And I wondered why.

Em                Bm      
  As we cast our gaze on the 
             C
tumbling sea
             Am
  A vision came o'er me
Em               Bm              
  Of thundering hooves and 
   C
beating wings
              D (riff1)
  In clouds above.

                   Em            
  As you turned to go I heard you 
          Bm
call my name,
                             C  
  You were like a bird in a cage 
                        Am
spreading its wings to fly
                     Em            
  "The old ways are lost," you sang
         Bm
 as you flew
                  C     D
  And I wondered why.
