Chords for Bruce Guthro: A Tribute

One rig have now got theirs too.
The group have been looking for a lead singer to replace Donnie Munro, who quit for a career in politics.
Now, after a year-long hunt, they've recruited 36-year-old country singer Bruce Guthro from Cape Breton in Canada.
Well, [B] Gordon came back from Canada with this [A] video of some [Ab] Celtic music that he'd heard when [N] he was in Canada and thought I should listen to it.
And the minute that I saw Bruce and heard his voice, I thought, well, that is the man.
But of course, that was only the start of it.
I mean, there was all the problems of, you know, thinking, well, can this [Ab] work?
Will he like working with Runrig?
Is he interested in Runrig's music?
Well, he loves [G] Runrig's music, which is the main thing.
We love [Fm] his voice and we think there's a real chemistry there and hopefully it's, you know, it should be really, really good.
The phrasing is [Gm] tricky.
_ [Ab] _ _ You know, it's I think it's kind of you almost [Eb] have to surrender yourself to it.
You can't sing in Gaelic _ _ with an English accent.
You have to really have to dive into it and _ _ rocks and [Gm] that sort of thing.
So it's coming, you know, slowly but surely.
I'm enjoying that.
[Em] Offstage, Bruce Guthro [Am] waits for his first reception from a Scottish audience.
_ [D] It was what we wait.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Abm] After the applause, the hush to hear what the new man was like.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And two, three. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ Book of gold and [Bb] stones, _ days of old and [Ab] rose, now the autumn leaves are falling.
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
We'll meet on the [Bb] edges, _ memories, no [Cm] regrets.
_ Now the minstrel boy [Ab] is _ [Bb] coming.
[Eb] But as long [Ab] as I can see [Gm] the [Ab] morning, _ [Eb] in miracles [Ab] much more [Bb] than I can say. _
_ [Cm] It's enough to [Ab] keep me [Gm] still _ [Ab] believing _ [Eb] in drifting [Bb] hearts so [Eb] far _ away.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb]
Cut.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ Thank you.
[Cm] _ _ Lost in a [Ab] web of _ [Bb] changes.
_ [Eb] _ This could be the [Bb] last thing.
_ Walsing in the wind.
[Cm] _
[Ab] Till the minstrel comes to _ [Bb] save us.
[Eb] But as long [Ab] as I can see [C] the _ [Ab] morning, [Eb] in miracles [Ab] much more [Bb] than I can say.
_ It's [Cm]
enough [Ab] to keep me [Gm] still _ [Ab] believing _ [Eb] in drifting [Bb] hearts so [Eb] far away.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Bb] But [Eb] as long [Ab] as I can [Gm] see the [Ab] morning, _ [Eb] in miracles [Ab] much more than [Bb] I can say. _ _
[Cm] It's enough [Fm] to keep me still [Gm] _
_ [Ab] believing [Eb] in drifting hearts [Bb] so far [Eb] away.
_ _ But as [Ab] long as I can [Gm] see the _ [Ab] morning, _ [Eb] and blossom [Ab] comes to bud again [Bb] in spring.
_ _ [Cm] It's enough [Ab] to keep me [Gm] still _ [Ab] believing _ [Eb] your memories.
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [N] _
_ And of all _ _ _ _ _ _ I said was to none but me.
_ _ [Eb] For all I've done for Walt of Woods, [B] _ Tumbling Reena.
_ _ _ _ _ _ So I'll raise to you one parting [Ab] glass.
Good night and God be [Abm] with you all.
_ _ [Ab] Of all the comrades here [Db] I've had, I'm sorry for [Eb] their going. _ _
_ And of all the [N] comrades here I've had, I wish them one more day to see.
_ _ [Db] But if it should fall to my [B] lot, that I [Abm] should rise and you should not. _
Then [Cm] I'll gently [Abm] release, and I'll softly call.
_ [Eb] Good night and God [Ab] be with you [N] all.
_ Thank you so much.
Thank you very much. _
