Rocket To The Moon

	  		


Intro: G 


G             D     G 
Here hangs an open landscape 
G           D        Em 
A wild and huge frontier 
G                   D      C     G 
From a harsh and a barren wasteland 
G                 D                G 
Through the grave to the promised field 
G              D            G 
You came, you trapped, you charted 
G                      D          Em 
You laid the railroads and the schemes 
G                   D       C     G 
And you tamed this land by enterprise 
G            D              G 
And by the power of your dreams 


         Em             D 
But you made this Clan great 
         G                C 
And you made this nation bloom 
         G 
And you rose 
                              C 
With your people through the new world 
        D             G 
Like a rocket to the moon 


Bridge: 

G   C   G  
Oh  ho  oh 



From the olden coasts of Ireland 
From the Hebridean shores 
With the forgotten chosen ones 
Running from Europe in droves 


There's a town in Manitoba 
They say the windows touch the sky 
But across the brine the shipyards close 
In this garden flowers die 

Still the homelands divide us 
Like your blood red brothers of the plains 
But where they grieve a candle still burns 
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
