Runrig - Abhainn An T-Sluaigh
 
Nice easy song. The chord sequence is repeated for each verse. I've included a
translation below if interested.
 
 
Intro: A, AMaj7, E, F#m, D, E, F#m,
 
              A               AMaj7
Chan eil an t-adhar os cionn Lunnainn
     E             F#m
A-nochd soileir no dorch
D        E           F#m
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
 
 
Bridge: (Play after third verse)
 
A, A, E, E, F#m, F#m, D, D  x2
 
 
Outro: (Play same chords as in bridge)
 
 
 
Gun sgial air coinneal mor latha
No reultan na h-oidhche
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
An sea s'am baile gun chadal
Gun fhois is gun saorsa
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
Casan a' gluasad
An abhainn an tuil
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
Na cuibhlichean, 's cabhaig
A’ tionndaidh gun sgur
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
Cus ag adhradh beairtas
Air altair an tshaoghail
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
Cach gun dochas gun dachaidh
Air sraidean gun ghaol
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
Leis gach dath s'gach creideamh
Gach cainnt as gach cearn
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
 
Gach ceist is gach freagairt
sios an abhainn gu cuan
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh ( x6 )
 
 
 
Translation:
 
The skies above London
Are neither clear nor dark
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
Neither the great candle of daylight
Nor the stars of the night can be seen
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
In this city that never sleeps
there is stillness, no quiet
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
Footsteps keep moving
The river in full flood
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
 
The relentless wheels
Keep turning without pause
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
Many worshipping wealth
At the world's altar
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
Others without hope or home
On streets that hold no love
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
Races creeds and tongues
From all corners of the globe
The need to be far from the crowded river
 
All questions and answer
Rushing down the river to the ocean
The need to be far from the crowded river ( x6)
