The Boatbuilders Lyrics & Tabs by Dougie Maclean
The Boatbuilders
guitar chords lyrics
i was there on the cold assynt hills
i heard the hunger cry the tyrants laughing
i heard the young men say goodbye
to the place where their young dreams were grown
there's a land somewhere where we can build our freedom
there's a land somewhere where our children will grow strong
and if our lives should be spared we'll need no other reason to sail on to sail on
on i stood on the shores at saint anne
and watched them building boats to trade the oceans
and saw the preacher raise his hands
saying children it's time to move on
i watched from the white waipu sands
saw them drop their sails and throw their anchors
i saw the old men shake each other's hands
saying brothers now i think we are home
saw them drop their sails and throw their anchors
i saw the old men shake each other's hands
saying brothers now i think we are home
