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 - Stinging Rain
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
F C F C (2x)
[Verse 1]
F C G
You paint me pictures that fade so fast
C F
To try and fool me
C G
You give me words that will never last
Am G F
But you won't rule me
[Verse 2]
C G
I shield my skin from the stinging rain
C F
My eyes I cover
C
I walk across these privileged fields
G F G
To the sound of a clumsy lover
[Chorus]
Am F Dm7
If you think you can hold me down
G
I beg to differ
Am F Dm7
If you think you can twist my words
G F
I'll sing forever
[Verse 3]
C G
You cannot change a mother's love for her child
C F
With the ill you bring
C
You're sending gifts that nobody wants
G Am G
With the cool fresh winds of spring
[Chorus]
Am F Dm7
If you think you can hold me down
G
I beg to differ
Am F Dm7
If you think you can twist my words
G
I'll sing forever

You change your shape and you change your face

So I can't see you

You travel from a different land

But I can't hear you
[Chorus]
Am F Dm7
If you think you can hold me down
G
I beg to differ
Am F Dm7
If you think you can twist my words

I'll sing forever
[Chorus]
