At The Heart Of It All

Tom : G
G
C (4x)

[Verse 1]
G C G C
Let's go up the hillside to the highest ridge of stone
G Em C G
Where the lapwing sings a eulogy at the wonder of it all
C G C
As the evening shadows thunder a cloak around the world
G Em C G
We remember all the mornings at the heart of it all

[Chorus]
D Em C G
At the heart of it all is a calling to this land
C G Am C
In the words of our salvation is a song for the common man
D Em C G
At the heart of it all is a story to be told
C G Am C G/B G/A
For the sake of our salvation and the troubles we behold

[Verse 2]
G C G C
You can see the river rising, its banks will creak and slide
G Em C G
There's a silence in the evergreen and on the setting of the tide
C G Em
Well, it's nature's way of saying, our backs are up against the wall
G Em C G
When it harder shocked the world, in a world before the storm

[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
  Am  G   Am
C (2x)

[Verse 3]
G C G C
The poems and the music are sorting nocht a name
G Em C G
They tumble and cascade across the pages of the mind
C G C
They will rise and spring to life again in the song for the good old home
G Em C G
Where the people and their land are at the heart of it all

[Chorus]
