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 - Who Will Raise Their Voice
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
Am Em D (4x)
[Verse 1]
Am Em D Am
When the smoke clears and the truth comes shining through
Em D
I will watch the sparks fly from deadlines overdue
C G C D
And make no mistake now, time will hunt them down
Am Em Dm7
'Til the language of reason runs them to the ground
[Chorus]
Am C F G
And who will raise their voice as the cruel winds blow?
Dm7 Em Dm
And who will call a truce? And who can break our fall?
Am G
Whisper words of reason to those without a song
Am Em D
And who will raise their voice and carry us along?
[Interlude]
Am Em D (2x)
[Verse 2]
Am Em D
And those images are everywhere, like sand in your hair
Am Em D
From the beaches of childhood that slipped through your fingers
C G C D
They're like years of our lives, tormenting and cruel
Am Em Dm7
Will the world look this way again, silent and true?
[Chorus]
Am C F G
And who will raise their voice as the cruel winds blow?
Dm7 Em Dm
And who will call a truce? And who can break our fall?
Am G
Whisper words of reason to those without a song
Am Em D
And who will raise their voice and carry us along?
[Instrumental]
F C F Em Dm F C

[Verse 3]
Em D
So, when the smoke clears and the truth comes shining through
Am Em D
Those prophecies they made will crumble in two
C G C D
Like a dark horse riding, graceful through the night
Am Em Dm7
You're the language of reason, you're the language of life
[Chorus]
Am C F G
And who will raise their voice as the cruel winds blow?
Dm7 Em Dm
And who will call a truce? And who can break our fall?
Am G
Whisper words of reason to those without a song
Am Em D
And who will raise their voice and carry us along?
Am Em D
Who will raise their voice and carry us along?
