Runrig: Edge of the World
Standard Tuning
I quite like this one, it's got a nice upbeat feel to it, the chords seem quite straightforward.
For the intro i just play G chord.
G D G
All the homes on the globe are like television in your eyes
C Em C Em Am D
A cross guarding your heart the living years a sacrifice
Em C G D
A shiver at the door in the night, clouds cross a black moonlight
C D
Rushing on down to the sound of a turning world
G D G
There's a south by sou'westerly force eight coming in strong
C Em C Em Am D
Across the continental shelf from the cold grey Malin beyond
Em C
The need to keep control
G D Em
The need to stand alone at the edge of the world
D Em
At the edge of the world
D G C D G C Am D
At the edge of the (ha-a-a-a ra-a-a-a) (ha-a-a-a ra-a-a-a-a-)
G D G
The adrenalin infrastructure bringing on it's troubles some more
C Em C Em Am D
All the laws of the jungle stranded on your latest shore
Em C
But the waves hold the healer force
G D
The years disappear like a ghost
C D
Somewhere out of the sight of the night and the light of day
G D G
Now civilisation groans and the news reel cries
C Em C Em Am D
Like a drowning man his life in front of his eyes
Em C
Oh the need to keep control
G D Em
The need to bare the soul at the edge of the world
D Em
On the edge of the world
D G C D G C Am D
On the edge of the (ha-a-a-a ra-a-a-a-a) (ha-a-a-a-a ra-a-a-a-a-a)
Am Em C G D
And the man from St. Kilda went over the cliff on a winter's day
D Em
At the edge of the world
D Em
At the edge of the world
[Repeat to fade]
Enjoy!
