INTRO: G   Cmaj7   G   Am7  (2x)  G

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


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


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


                        Am             C
Should have been home before daylight
                          G
It's not easy when you're down and hungry
                              Am            C
One from the late run, rolled up in 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               C
I've heard the Braes men talk in Portree
              G
The news from Glendale


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


INSTRUMENTAL: G   Cmaj7   G   Am7  (2x)
              G   C   G   Am7  (2x)  D  C   G


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


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