Biography:
Capercaillie is a folk band founded in Oban, Scotland in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. They recorded their first album, Cascade, in 1984. Their 1992 EP Coisich, a Rùin was the first ever Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK Top 40 singles chart. They have also pioneered the integration of divergent styles, including some electronics and African rhythms, into their music, though it is still primarily Scottish folk music.

Capercaillie - Beautiful Wasteland
[Intro]
Am C D7 (4x)
[Verse 1]
Am
It rarely makes the news today
D7
The place where I was born
Am
They called it a wasteland
D7
A wilderness gone wrong
Am
Where the twisted trees have fallen
D7
The branches stripped and bare
F Em
In the silence of the night time
D
Innocence is here
[Chorus]
Am D Am
Beautiful wasteland is me
D Am
Beautiful wasteland is me
Dm Em D
If only you'll see, you'll believe
[Verse 2]
Am
I embraced my father's warnings
D7
And studied in your schools
Am
To justify your theories
D7
And convoluted rules
Am
Travelled to the corners
D7
Where everybody knows
F Em
My country's been wearing
D
The emperor's clothes
[Chorus]
Am D Am D
Beautiful wasteland is me
Am D Am
Beautiful wasteland is me
[Bridge]
Bb F Dm7
I'll take you there
Bb
To the bracken slopes
C
When the summer's rolling
Bb F Dm7
I'll take you there
[Instrumental]
Am D7 (4x)
[Verse 3]
Am
I'm lying by the ocean
D7
Her western breeze is still
Am
She's the heart of all seasons
D7
A mother to my soul
Am
When the century is over
D7
And the shipping days are done
F Em
Like a child for the first time
D
I'll lie here again
[Chorus]
Am D Am
Beautiful wasteland is me
D Am
Beautiful wasteland is me
D Am
Beautiful wasteland is me
D Am
Beautiful wasteland is me
Dm Em Dm
If only you'll see, you'll believe
[Outro] (fade to end)
Em Dm
You see, you'll believe
Em Dm Em
You see, you'll believe
D
You'll believe
You'll believe
You'll believe
