Rocket to the Moon

Runrig - Rocket to the Moon Capo on 4th fret Intro: G, G G D G Here hangs an open landscape G D Em A wild and huge frontier GDCG G D G Through the grave to the promised field G D G You came, you trapped, you charted G D Em You laid the railroads and the schemes G D C G And you tamed this land by enterprise G D G And by the power of your dreams Em D But you made this Clan great G C And you made this nation bloom G And you rose C With your people through the new world D G Like a rocket to the moon Bridge: G C G Oh ho oh With the forgotten chosen ones Running from Europe in droves (Chorus) There's a town in Manitoba They say the windows touch the sky But across the brine the shipyards close In this garden flowers die Still the homelands divide us Like your blood red brothers of the plains But where they grieve a candle still burns A prayer from a flicker to a flame
