Biography:
Malinky is a Scottish folk band specialising in Scots song.
Formed in autumn 1998, the original members were Karine Polwart from Banknock, Stirlingshire (vocals, guitar, bouzouki), Steve Byrne from Arbroath (vocals, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin), Mark Dunlop from Garryduff, Co. Antrim (bodhrán, whistles, vocals) and English fiddler Kit Patterson.
First meeting to rehearse in early October that year, the band was largely formed to help Polwart fulfil a support slot at Edinburgh Folk Club some ten days later

[Intro]

[Verse]
N.C. C F C
The sun was shining on the English Channel
F C G C
On a ferry off the coast of France
F C
And it was summer and a pleasant morning
F C G C
And high above gulls wheeled and danced
F Am G
And high above the cliffs of morning
C F
The gun emplacements had stood in ranks
N.C. C F C
And I walked over to the railings
F C G C
And heard the ghosts of the Calgary tanks
[Instrumental]
C F C F C G C
[Verse]
N.C. C F C
And I remembered pictures I'd seen
F C G C
In history books and magazines
F C
Of three men standing, smoking, staring
F C G C
Among the dead on a rocky beach
F Am G
And in the light of that pleasant morning
C F
As we sailed under the cliffs above
N.C. C F C
I thought of all their silent prayers
F C G C F C G C
And the final thoughts of the ones they loved
[Verse]
N.C. C F C
That they left behind at prairie stations
F C G C
Waving to their pride and joy
F C
Waving to the smiling faces
F C G C
Smiling faces of the soldier boys
F Am G
No waves of grain could claim the fallen
C F
Just the Channel, cold and grey as steel
N.C. C F C
And no return to the rolling prairie
F C G C
Or a silent cross on a lonely field
[Instrumental]
C F C F C G C
[Verse]
F C
The sun was shining on the rolling prairie
F C G C
Far from the Channel, cold and grey
F C
Shone on the families, friends and lovers
F C G C
Of the prairie boys who fell that day
F Am G
But they could not know on that sunny morning
C F
The future held for them no joy
N.C. C F C
They'd wait in vain at prairie stations
F C G C
Wait in vain for their soldier boys
