Rod Clements - Roads Of East Northumberland
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
C F C
[Verse 1]
F C
I drive the roads of East Northumberland
F C
Between the uplands and the sea
F Am F
Where the wind blows cold and the long grass is taking hold
C F C F C
Of the traces of how it used to be
[Verse 2]
F C
The windscreen wipers beat a rhythm
F C
The years roll back across the plain
F Am F
And the ghosts of the men are going to their destiny
C F C
Heading for the back-shift in the rain
[Verse 3]
F C
You can read their names on the monument
F C
Their voices echo everywhere
F Am F C
Their proud banners call, hanging on the museum wall
F C
Do you remember why they're there?
[Bridge]
F
And do you understand
C
It's only time's shifting sands that carry on?
F
Do you understand
C
That only time will tell, and time is moving on?
[Instrumental]
C F Am F C F C
[Verse 4]
F C
I walk the hills of West Northumberland
F C
And I look back east across the plain
F Am F
From a ring of stones to the green fields and starter homes
C F C
And a North-East wind suggesting rain
[Outro]
