[Vocal section]
E (022100@1)             
I survive the childhood universe
      BAnd (x2444x@1)I step the naked heath
           EWhere (022100@1)the breathing of the vanished
         BLies (x2444x@1)in acres round my feet
E (022100@1)             
Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada
          BAnd (x2444x@1)the flatlands to the east
           EWhere (022100@1)the dark blue mass of Eval
           BMeets (x2444x@1)the rising Rock of Lee
             EBetween (022100@1)the Crogary and Maairi
   BI (x2444x@1)started to descend
         E (022100@1)Loch Aongais on my left hand side
   BI (x2444x@1)look across to Clett
         ECollies (022100@1)barking on the outrun
     BDunlin (x2444x@1)dancing on the sand
           A (x02220@1)            
Breakers show round Corran Vallique
     D (xx0232@1)         F#m (244222@1)          BAnd (x2444x@1)empty the Atlantic on the strand

[The rest of the verses/chorus use the same chords]

Sunrise
The colour frontier
The ageing light
The sight that knows no fear
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore
To Aloter
And the road to Ahmore

The silent skies
An innocent heart
Holding the moment away
From time in the dark
All I see. All I know
Is touching the sacred earth
Warming the hallowed ground

Enjoy!
