Or repeat D, A, D, Em11
D A
This is the calendar
D Em11
These are the dates
D A D Em11
You know you'll be, you won't know what you'll see
D A D Em11
The routes might change so all that remains
D A D
Is the pull from place to place
Bridge: D, A, Em11, Em7
D A Bm D
We left our homes in the spring sunshine
D A Bm D
Things came alive when I knew they weren't mine
D A Bm D
Falling in line didn't matter at all
D A Bm D
We knew we'd go when we each heard the call
This is the calendar
These are the dates
You know you'll be, you won't know what you'll see
The routes might change so all that remains
Is the pull from place to place
Bridge
The pylons found fault lines to run through the heart
The heart of the land beat with odd fits and starts
So they ran round the oldest and grey of the hills
So as to let the old die without power or pills
This is the calendar
These are the dates
You know you'll be, you won't know what you'll see
The routes might change so all that remains
Is the pull from place to place
Bridge
Dublin to Cork though you never heard told
There's a line of good men with eyes wet and bold
Where they weep for the crows bearing twigs for the nest
Changing the shape of the trees they loved best
This is the calendar
These are the dates
You know you'll be, you won't know what you'll see
The routes might change so all that remains
Is the pull from place to place
Bridge
The ghost of O'Donahue scared not the lad
Who in desert respect lost the smile he borne glad
Sat quite chief and folorn and pitched with the spectre
Escaped all exhaustions and prayers from the rector
Bm D Em11 D
And with glancing devout pulled a frown from his sack
Bm D Em11 A
Weighed with loaves from the oven and ale from the rack
Bridge: A-hammeron-Asus4
This is the calendar
These are the dates
You know you'll be, you won't know what you'll see
The routes might change so all that remains
Is the pull from place to place

G Dsus2 (hold until strum)--------0---|

D ---0-----0-----0------------------|
G ---2-----2-----2------------------|

Oh I won't know whether to laugh or cry
Repeat both solos once and end.
