This song is rather easy to play, at least the guitar part.  The fiddles
whistle and accordian make it sound tough.  Listen to the album for the
rythym.

Intro:

G C G

I saw a blue umbrella in Princes Street Gardens,

C B A G

Heading out west for the Lothian Road.

G C G

An Evening News stuffed deep in his pocket,

C B A G

Wrapped up in his problems, to keep away the cold.

G C G

Grierson's spirit haunts the dockyards,

C B A G

Where the only men working are on documentary crews,

G C G

Shooting film as the lines get longer,

C B A G

As the seams run out, all the oil runs dry.

(Chorus)

G C G G A G

Hey there laddie, Internal Exile! When will you realise, we got to let go?

G C G G A G

Hey there lassie, Internal Exile! When will you realise, we got to let go?

G C G G A G

G C G

Starlings wheeling round Georgian spire,

C B A G

And the fires of Grangemouth burn the skies

G C G

A lion sleeps in a tenemant close,

C B A G

In a country that's tired and deaf to his roar.

(Chorus)

Same chords, just picked:

G C G

They bury a wasteland deep in the wildernes,

C B A G

Poison the soil and reap the harvest,

G C G

of blind indifference, greed and apathy,

C B A G

Sowed way back in our history.

G C G

The fish are few and the harbours are empty,

C B A G

The kells now rot on our oil slicked shores.

G C G

The sheep are gone, the farms deserted,

C B A G

We're out of sight and we're out of mind.

(Chorus)

G C G

Like our fathers before us, We've eyes for america,

C B A G

Dream of a new life on foreign shores.

G C G

But wherever we go, we'll always know

C B A G

that the land we stand on, is never our own.

(Chorus)

We gotta go now, ....

(Faster part)

G C B G C B

(REAL FAST)
