Cornwall

D

[Chorus]
       D
As the hound obeys the hunters' horn
 call
G
  So I'm called back home to 
Cornwall
D
For that's where my heart lies 
buried
 A
'Neath the standing stone
        D
Where a white cross on a black field
 standing
G                                 
  Proudly waves above the landing 
D
place
Beneath the rugged cliffs of 
  A               D
Cornwall, my true love

[Verse 1]
       D                   G
Broken images of memories awaken in 
my bones
       Bm                       
When I do recall the land I left 
     G                A
behind that was my home
           G                     
Sailing out from Falmouth bay way 
         Bm
back in nineteen-eighty-three
        G                   Em    
Green behind the ears, just 
           A                    D
fifteen years of age, well that was 
me

       D                           
Like a fool searching for freedom, 
       G                 D
roving further far and wide
        Bm                      G 
I set out but I did not return 
                A
upon the running tide
           G                 D    
Where the timeless cliffs resound 
              Bm
with mournful echoes of the cries
   G                 Em           
Of fearless seabirds chasing storm
       A                     D
 clouds though the silver sky

[Chorus]
       D
As the hound obeys the hunters' horn
 call

Cornwall, my true love

[Verse 2]
         D                      
From the all-night clubs of west 
           G              D
Berlin to lonely Pyrenees
        Bm                         
From chaotic squats in Amsterdam to
 G                       A
 New World 'cross the sea
         G                 D      
From the forests of New Hampshire 
          Bm
to the streets of London Town
         D                   Em   
Though I loved each place, I could
              A                D
 not stay, forever homeward bound

          D                        
Where the gorse and foxglove dance 
            G                 D
and sway upon the rolling moors
        Bm                       
And the sea wind blow her emerald 
           G                     A
kiss from north to southern shore
        G                   D 
Where a song of stone sings out 
             Bm
in-tune to transatlantic waves
    D                    Em       
If I could but hear that song 
      A                   D
again, my soul it would be saved

place
Beneath the rugged cliffs of 
  A               D
Cornwall, my true love

[Slow Chorus]
         D
When I die as we must do one and all
G
  Send my body home to Cornwall
D
Place my bones down with my heart
    A
Beneath the standing stone
      D
Put a white cross on black field 
standing
G                              
  On my coffin then I'll finally 
      D
rest in peace
                     A             
Within the arms of Kernow, my true 
  D
love

[Chorus]
       D
As the hound obeys the hunters' horn
 call
G
  So I'm called back home to 
Cornwall
