Runrig - Gabriel's Sword
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   F    Dm    F  Dm  
In the Fmiddle of the schoolyard
Where the Dmbombs have lain to rest
There's a Bbchild in the darkness Cwaiting
But the Fanswers in the history books
Are Dmslowly burning down
And the Bbwords that spell forgiveness, Cwear a thorny crown
CHORUS:
GmGabriel's Csword will Fpierce me no Dmmore
I'll Bblet my spirit Fsoar Cso high
GmSure as it all Ccomes from the Amfather to the Dmson
We've Bbgot to learn to Fsee the truth Cto fly
It's a beautiFful sky
INTERLUDE:   F    Dm    F  Dm  
There is Fmuch that I have seen
In this Dmworld they say is free
That would Bbmake it almost seem Cuntrue
Many Ftimes I've walked the line
Longing Dmfor the other side
Only Bbthing that changed my mind Cwas you
CHORUS:
GmGabriel's Csword will Fpierce me no Dmmore
I'll Bblet my spirit Fsoar Cso high
GmSure as it all Ccomes from the Amfather to the Dmson
We've Bbgot to learn to Fsee the truth Cto fly
It's a beautiFful skyDm  
It's a beautiFful skyDm  
INSTRUMENTAL:   F    Gm    Am    Bb    Am    Bb    Dm    C    Dm  C

I'll Bblet my spirit Fsoar Cso high
GmSure as it all Ccomes from the Amfather to the Dmson
We've Bbgot to learn to Fsee the truth Cto fly

Runrig - Gabriel's Sword

CAPO: 1st Fret

F Dm F Dm

INTRO:

In the middle of the schoolyard

Where the bombs have lain to rest

Bb C

There's a child in the darkness waiting

But the answers in the history books

Are slowly burning down

Bb C

And the words that spell forgiveness, wear a thorny crown

CHORUS:

Gm C F Dm

Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more

Bb F C

I'll let my spirit soar so high

Gm C Am Dm

Sure as it all comes from the father to the son

Bb F C

We've got to learn to see the truth to fly

It's a beautiful sky

F Dm F Dm

INTERLUDE:

There is much that I have seen

In this world they say is free

Bb C

That would make it almost seem untrue

Many times I've walked the line

Longing for the other side

Bb C

Only thing that changed my mind was you

CHORUS:

Gm C F Dm

Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more

Bb F C

I'll let my spirit soar so high

Gm C Am Dm

Sure as it all comes from the father to the son

We've got to learn to see the truth to fly

It's a beautiful sky

It's a beautiful sky
