Recovery

INTRO: G   Cmaj7   G   Am7  (2x)  G

                          Am       
Watching the morning come in on the
       C
 land
                  G
See the moon roll over Skeabost
                  Am               
See the young men late in the glen
 C

                   G
All with camans in hand


          Am
Sea winds out on the wild
C         G
Sea waves crash onto Uig
                           Am      
See the black homes strung out in a
       C
 line
                    G
Cross the island of Skye


CHORUS:
          Am                       
I can't believe that it's taking 
       G
all this time
          Dm        C        
I can't believe my life and my 
        Am
destiny
Am7
After the clans, after the clearings
Continues after the ad
       D          C      G
Here I am, recovering


                        Am  
Should have been home before 
           C
daylight
                          G
It's not easy when you're down and 
hungry
                              Am   
One from the late run, rolled up in
         C
 a coat
               G
I make my way across the moor


                     Am           C
For a late summer in Eighty-Four
                  G
But now there's a new day dawning
                         Am     
I've heard the Braes men talk in 
          C
Portree
              G
The news from Glendale


CHORUS:
              Am                   
And I can't believe that it's 
           G
taking all this time
          Dm        C        
I can't believe my life and my 
        Am
destiny
Am7
After the clans, after the clearings
       D          C
Here I am, recovering

(2x)  D  C   G


                        Am       
Still the morning comes in on the 
       C
land
                G
See the new sun red and rising
                  Am               
See the corn turn ripe in the 
   C
fields
                      G
See the growth in the glen


                      Am           
And McPherson's in Kilmuir tonight
 C

                   G
What a night for a people rising
                 Am           C
And, oh god, not before time
                       G       
There's justice in our lives
Cmaj7   G
