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
