Always The Winner

Biography:

Runrig were a Scottish folk rock band founded by brothers Calum and Rory Macdonald in 1973 in Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland. The band was popular across the United Kingdom, Denmark and Germany and was notable for combining original songs in Gaelic with a rock sound, thus reflecting the Gaelic culture.

Runrig began in 1973 as a three-piece named the "Run Rig Dance Band", its members comprising Calum Macdonald and Rory Macdonald, and their friend, accordionist Blair Douglas.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Not enough Runrig on here, so here's one of my favourites.
From the "Big Wheel" album.

Capo 1
(verse 1)

G D C G C G
When you close your eyes there’s a frightened pride that lives for you

Am D Am C D C D
That your mothers life and your father’s eyes can’t hide.

G D C G C G
You had no choice didn’t ask the dice to fall for you

Am D Am C D C D
Still your courage comes like thunder through the skies

(Chorus 1)

D G D C D G D C D
You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver

G D Am C G D
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old

(verse 2)
G D C G CG
So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show

Am D Am C D C D
Well hidden from lifes learned and life’s wise

G D C G C G
Man’s useless ways and worthless conversations

Am D Am C D C
Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile

(Chorus 2)
D G D C D G D C D
You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver

D G D Am C D C
Somewhere through that winter, you’ll never be alone

D G D C D G D C D
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver

G D Am C G D
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.

(Bridge)
Am G
Still you run out in the morning, with the boys and girls
C G
A miracle of innocence on a head of curls
Am G
We’ll search every reason wherever we roam
Am D
To find a place for these broken hearts and bones
C G Am G
We’ll keep a fire on the hillside, after the summer’s gone
Am C G D
And we’ll wait her for the war-wounded to come home.

(Chorus 3)
D G D C D G D C D
You’re always the winner, the victor and the giver

G D Am C D C
Somewhere through that winter, you’ll never be alone

D G D C D G D C D
For evermore the winner, the taker and the giver

G D Am C G
Somewhere through that winter, you will not grow old.
