Capercaillie - At The Heart Of It All



[Intro]
G  C  (4x)

[Verse 1]
G               C               G                C
Let's go up the hillside to the highest ridge of stone
          G               Em            C            G
Where the lapwing sings a eulogy at the wonder of it all
                       C         G                C
As the evening shadows thunder a cloak around the world
     G              Em              C           G
We remember all the mornings at the heart of it all


[Chorus]
       D           Em       C               G
At the heart of it all is a calling to this land
       C               G           Am                  C
In the words of our salvation is a song for the common man
       D           Em       C           G
At the heart of it all is a story to be told
        C              G              Am            C       G/B G/A
For the sake of our salvation and the troubles we behold


[Verse 2]
        G             C                      G         C
You can see the river rising, its banks will creak and slide
          G              Em                   C              G
There's a silence in the evergreen and on the setting of the tide
                           C           G             Em
Well, it's nature's way of saying, our backs are up against the wall
        G                  Em          C                G
When it harder shocked the world, in a world before the storm


[Chorus]
       D           Em       C               G
At the heart of it all is a calling to this land
       C               G           Am                  C
In the words of our salvation is a song for the common man
       D           Em       C           G
At the heart of it all is a story to be told
        C              G              Am            C
For the sake of our salvation and the troubles we behold


[Instrumental]
Am   G   Am   C  (2x)


[Verse 3]
    G             C         G               C
The poems and the music are sorting nocht a name
     G             Em              C            G
They tumble and cascade across the pages of the mind
                             C                 G                     C
They will rise and spring to life again in the song for the good old home
          G                Em              C           G
Where the people and their land are at the heart of it all


[Chorus]
       D           Em       C               G
At the heart of it all is a calling to this land
       C               G           Am                  C
In the words of our salvation is a song for the common man
       D           Em       C           G
At the heart of it all is a story to be told
        C              G              Am            C
For the sake of our salvation and the troubles we behold


[Outro]
Am   G   Am   C  (4x)
