Big Sky Lyrics

Runrig - Big Sky
Tuning - Tune guitar down one semi tone. (d#-A#-F#-C#-G#-D#)
Alternatively put capo on 1st fret and transpose all these chords down two half
steps ( So A becomes G, G becomes F etc.)
Spoken lyrics:
Diardaoin, an ceathramh latha, dhan 'Ghiblein
Deagh latha eile. Air mo chois trath. Leig mi fhein
is m'athair a-mach an crodh. Tha Alasdair a'
treabhadh thall taobh an iar. Dh,fhalbh sinn sios a
dh'Orasaigh, fodraigeadh nam beathaichean agus
Thainig sinn air ais timcheall Cleit, a' cumail suil
a-mach airson na h-uain. Tha e math a bhi beo,
Tha e math a bhi beo.
The light is on me
All time is here
I'm going down to Clachan
To stem the rush of years
Big sky above me
Powerlines overhead
I get lifted up enraptured
I keep falling at your feet
I'm looking over colourfields
Past the white sands
And our human years
And it's all waiting here
Breaking the seed
It's coming again
Gathering the wind
Returning to claim a harvest
I'm lifted where I stand
On the never-ending land
I'm coming to a sense of home
Spoken verse 2
Air an oidhche bha sluagh mor a-staigh agus bha
againn ri dhol suas gu taigh Neil airson tuilleadh
Sheidhrichean. Tha an teaghlach uile dhachaidh
A-neisd. A' suidhe air an staidhre a coimhead air an
Uinneag. A' gheallach, an Crogaire, Loch an Aonghais.
Fhad's a bha Ruairidh Sheumais a' gabhail na leabhraichean.
Tha gnothaichean caran mun aon rud.
Wind through the barley
Your early dream
A rising choir of birdsong
Your fields of summer green
It's all passing over
I've no complaints
We're just a row of unlit candles
Waiting at the gate of saints
I'm living on the borderline
Between the moment
And the shining miles
The far stretching stones
All the lines of the sown
It's coming again
Gathering the wind
Returning to claim a harvest
I'm lifted where I stand
On the never-ending land
I'm coming to a sense of home
The light of ancient shine
On your ordinary lives
We joyed went to the fires of harvest
So open up the land
Open up the sand
Returning again in Clachan
Falling Down, falling down again
Falling Down again.
Oh can't hold back the feeling
Play following chords to fade.
Enjoy!
