Eternity - Words and Music by Dougie MacLean E|--------------------------------------------|Most, if not all, of Dougie's songs are played in open tunings on the guitar. I have transcribed this, along with a few more of his songs, in standard tuning to allow for easier learning. [Intro] A7sus4 A A7sus4 A x2 [Verse]A7sus4 A A7sus4 A You're a stranger to these hills and you've come up here to end your daysF C G And you love our running rivers and you love our quaint little Highland waysA7sus4 A A7sus4 A You sold your house in the city - you put it on the market and you did so goodF C G Now you've bought a little piece of something that you don't understand and you've misunderstood [Chorus]Am F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play onAm F G What you've gained is our ultimate lossAm F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay onAm F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross [Verse]A7sus4 A A7sus4 A You love the view from your window and you'd go out more but it always rainsF C G You don't think much of the music or the tears in the old man's sad refrainsA7sus4 A A7sus4 A You've bought yourself miles of tartan and you wear it round your middle and you wear it on your headF C G You stand there a proud believer in a vision of the truth that's long gone dead [Chorus]Am F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play onAm F G What you've gained is our ultimate lossAm F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay onAm F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross [Bridge] (SPOKEN VOICEOVER - Chord places as suggestion if you wish to sing this verse)Dm Am Dm Am Once these glens were full of people and the songs and stories of their fathers of oldDm Am Dm F And there was peace and plenty and a horn of whiskey when the weather grew coldDm Am Dm Am Then along came the great improvers and they cleaned it up like only imperials couldDm Am Dm F They lined them up for transportation to the land of the brave and the free and the good [Verse]A7sus4 A A7sus4 A Look to the south I tell you that the black man has it cruel and hardF C G But you don't have to look any further that the rumble of stones in our own backyardA7sus4 A A7sus4 A And Oh sad the day and all that's left are a fading fewF C G Yes Sir you may have paid good money for it but no it'll never be-long to you [Chorus]Am F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play onAm F G What you've gained is our ultimate lossAm F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay onAm F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery CrossAm F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play onAm F G What you've gained is our ultimate lossAm F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay onAm F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross
