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 - Black Fields
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Am Dm F Am F G Am D Am
[Verse 1]
F G D
From a window, a vision of your world
F G Am D Am
Looks surreal in a blue and grey surround
F G D
I'm here in a corner, a picture on your screen
F G
I'm a satellite beam, a bystander
C G F
And I'm watching the ship going down
C Em F Am
With the deadliest cargo inbound
[Verse 2]
F G D
Politicians, their axe is ground and clean
F G Am D Am
Survey the scene in a well-rehearsed alarm
F G D
Stand back from the shoreline with a silver dollar smile
F G
And you put us on file, leave an island
C G F
To the curse of the spray and the spill
C Em F
Worse things happen at sea and they will
[Chorus]
Am D F G Am
And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields?
D F G Am
How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields?
D F G F G Am
I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields
[Verse 3]
F G D
All hands to the video, take a movie channel cruise
F G Am D Am
Anything but news, all cocooned we climb the stairs
F G D
Back here in the black fields, we hide behind the trees
F G
In a chemical breeze, leave a call sign
C G F
All the kings of the future will hear
C Em F
Civilization was here
[Chorus]
Am D F G Am
And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields?
D F G Am
How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields?
D F G Am
I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields
[Bridge]
To the world outside
Dm7
There was nothing more to see
And the story died
Em
And the demon keeps below the sea
Am F
And we cried and cried and cried
[Chorus]
Am D F G Am
And how many birds make a sacrifice in the black fields?
D F G Am
How many words 'til we pay the price in the black fields?
D F G F G Am
I know disaster grows without looking twice in the black fields
