Capercaillie - Beautiful Wasteland
[Intro]
Am   C   D7(4x)
[Verse 1]
It Amrarely makes the news today
The D7place where I was born
They Amcalled it a wasteland
A D7wilderness gone wrong
Where the Amtwisted trees have fallen
The D7branches stripped and bare
In the Fsilence of the night timeEm  
Innocence is Dhere
[Chorus]
AmBeautiful Dwasteland is Amme
Beautiful Dwasteland is Amme
If Dmonly you'll Emsee, you'll beDlieve
[Verse 2]
I Amembraced my father's warnings
And D7studied in your schools
To Amjustify your theories
And D7convoluted rules
AmTravelled to the corners
Where D7everybody knows
My Fcountry's been wearingEm  
The emperor's Dclothes
[Chorus]
AmBeautiful Dwasteland is AmmeD  
AmBeautiful Dwasteland is Amme
[Bridge]
BbI'll Ftake you Dm7there
To the Bbbracken slopes
When the Csummer's rolling
BbI'll Ftake you Dm7there
[Instrumental]
Am   D7(4x)
[Verse 3]
I'm Amlying by the ocean
Her D7western breeze is still
She's the Amheart of all seasons
A D7mother to my soul
When the Amcentury is over
And the D7shipping days are done
Like a Fchild for the first timeEm  
I'll lie here aDgain
[Chorus]
AmBeautiful Dwasteland is Amme
Beautiful Dwasteland is Amme
Beautiful Dwasteland is Amme
Beautiful Dwasteland is Amme
If Dmonly you'll Emsee, you'll beDmlieve
[Outro] (fade to end)
You Emsee, you'll beDmlieve
You Emsee, you'll beDmlieveEm  
You'll beDlieve
You'll believe
You'll believe
