The Old Ways

Em    D/F#  C/G   Am
Em    D/F#  C/G   Am

[Chorus]
Em                  D/F#         
   The thundering waves are 
        C/G           Am
calling me home, home to you.
Em                D/F#           
   The pounding sea is calling me
   C/G           Am
 home, home to you.

[Verse]
Em                        Bm7    
   On a dark New Year's night, on
                      C          
 the west coast of Clare, I heard 
         Am
your voice singing.
Em                        Bm7    
   Your eyes danced the song, 
                     C             
your hands played the tune. 'Twas a
       D
 vision before me.
Em                       Bm7     
   We left the music behind and 
                  C             
the dance carried on as we stole 
  Am
away to the seashore.
Em                  Bm7          
   And smelt the brine, felt the 
              C                    
wind in our hair. With sadness you 
   D
paused.

[Bridge]
             Em                    
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to 
 Bm7                     C        
go. Your world was not mine, your 
              D
eyes told me so.
           Em              
Yet it was there I felt the 
                 Bm7               
crossroads of time, and I wondered 
 C   D
why.

[Verse]
Em                  Bm7    
   As we cast our gaze on the 
              C                Am
tumbling sea, a vision came o'er me.
Em                  Bm7          
   Of thundering hooves and 
      C                    D
beating wings in the clouds above.

[Verse]
           Em                      
Turning to go, heard you call out 
    Bm7                    C  
my name. Like a bird in a cage, 
                          D
spreading its wings to fly.
                  Em               
"The old ways are lost," you sang 
        Bm7                C   D
as you flew. And I wondered why.

[Chorus]
Em                  D/F#         
   The thundering waves are 
        C/G           Am
calling me home, home to you.
Em                D/F#           
   The pounding sea is calling me
   C/G           Am
 home, home to you.
Em                  D/F#         
   The thundering waves are 
        C/G           Am
calling me home, home to you.
Em                D/F#           
   The pounding sea is calling me
   C/G           Am
 home, home to you.
Em                  D/F#         
   The thundering waves are 
        C/G           Am
calling me home, home to you.
Em                D/F#           
   The pounding sea is calling me
   C/G           Am
 home, home to you.
