Take Us Back

Intro: Dm Am G x2

Dm                    Am                     G
The tops of crags and cliffs, the air is thin
Dm                       Am                   G
So we'll find a mountain path on down the hill
Dm                     Am         G
Meet me where the snow mount flows
Dm                    Am                  G
It is there, my dear, where we will begin again
Dm  Am   G       Dm   Am  G
Skipping stones, braiding hair
Dm         Am   G    Dm   Am  G
Last year's antlers mark the trail

Dm                Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G            Dm          Am   G
Oh, take us, take us back

Oooooh...

Dm                          Am            G
I've a friend who lives out by the rivers mouth
Dm                   Am                G
He knows the fiddles cry is an old sound
Dm                    Am                G
A lonesome creeks and moans of empty houses
Dm                Am        G
Are songs of like fallen rain
Dm Am G             Dm Am      G
Windblown buildings, muddy ground
Dm       Am    G     Dm   Am    G
The strength of water can sink a man

Dm                Am
Take us back, oh, take us back
G            Dm   Am   G
Oh, take us, take us back
x2

Dm G Am x3
Oooooh...

Dm              Am                G
When the higher hills have turned blue
Dm                        Am              G
And the waves are lapping where the children grew
Dm               Am               G
All that we have know will be an echo
Dm               Am         G
Of days when love was true
Dm Am G    Dm Am  G
Muted voices just beyond
Dm   Am     G       Dm    Am   G
The silent surface of what has gone

Dm G Am x3
Oooooh...
