[INTRO]
[D] [A] [D] [A]
[VERSE]
[A]The West winds blow to Coshieville [D]
And with the winds came [A]we
And [E7]where the river [A]hugs the wood
And [D]Blackthorns bloom in [A]May, there [F#m]stood
A [B7]single Rowan [E]Tree
[D]So young and tender, [A]so were you [E7]
I loved you both, as [A]there you grew
The [D]day I took the [A]road that [F#m]leads
By [Bm]Rannoch[E7] to the [A]sea [D] [A] [D]
[VERSE]
[A]We carved our names in Coshieville
The [D]Rowan leaves were [A]still
But the [E7]darkening West was [A]in your eyes
Des[D]pite your kisses [A]and my [F#m]lies
My [B7]thoughts had crossed the [E]hill
I [D]broke your heart as the [A]minutes passed
I [E7]shrugged and said that [A]nothing lasts
But [D]many the backward [A]glance I [F#m]cast
As I [Bm]went North[E7] to the [A]drill [D] [A] [D] [A]
[VERSE]
[A]The big wheels rumble up and down
The [D]lorries know the [A]way
I [E7]waved my hand, I [A]hitched a ride
We [D]crossed the bridge at [A]Rannoch-[F#m]side
Where the [B7]diesel motors [E]play
[D]Then I set myself to a [A]cliff of stone
My [E7]ears to the boring-hammer's [A]drone
But the [D]ache inside, I [A]rued a[F#m]lone
For [Bm]you were[E7] far a[A]way [D] [A] [D] [A]
[VERSE]
[A]But the money moved from Erichts Loch
And the [D]Great Glen beckoned [A]on
At [E7]Norriston the [A]hills grew pale
We [D]fought and drank through [A]old Kin[F#m]tail
Till our [B7]money soon was [E]gone
And I [D]curse Loch Aweside's [A]autumn rain
The [E7]winter whiskey in Dun[A]blane
Till the [D]west winds rose in the [A]spring a[F#m]gain
And my [Bm]heart leapt[E7] at its [A]song [D] [A] [D] [A]
[VERSE]
[A]Then I came at last to Coshieville
With a [D]dozen hills a[A]flame [E7]
You had another [A]hand to hold
Be[D]neath the names we [A]carved of [F#m]old
There [B7]was another [E]name
You [D]looked me through, you [A]made no [F#m]sign
I [Bm]drank that [E7]cup of bitter [A]wine
For [D]well we knew the [A]fault was [F#m]mine
And I [Bm]went the [E7]road I [A]came [D] [A] [D] [A]
[D] [A] [D] [A]
[VERSE]
[A]The West winds blow to Coshieville [D]
