Joshua Burnell - Fair As The Heather

Capo: 5th fret

[Verse 1]
Am Em
They came from the hill and they burned all our lands
G D
With fire in their eyes & blades in their hands
Am Em
Our women they took and our soldiers disgraced
G D
But our proudest fast maiden slipped out of their grasped

[Chorus 1]

Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

[Verse 2]
Am Em
The moons rose and felt, we laboured and toiled
G D
Our maiden returned as the blossom emerged
Am Em
She asks for her land and her people set free
G D
But still were enslaved full of melancholy

[Chorus 2]
Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

[Verse 3]
Am Em
The sun rose and set and we fell to the floor
G D
Our maiden returned as the flowers stood tore
Am Em
She asks for her land and her people set free
G D
But still were enslaved full of woe and misery

[Chorus 3]
Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

[Verse 4]
Am Em
The clouds passed on by and our bones didn’t mend
G D
Our maiden returned as the browns leaves descend
Am Em
She asks for her land and her people set free
G D
But still were enslaved by a cold fist of steel

[Chorus 4]
Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

[Verse 5]
Am Em
The world moves on by and we crumble and fail
G D
Our maiden returns as the frost grips the glade
Am Em
She asks for her land and her people set free
G D
But still were enslaved and forever will be

[Chorus 5]
Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she

Am
Fair as the heather

Em
Wild as the sea

C G
She roamed through the mountains
Am G Am
Til all ward come she
