Iona - Lindisfarne [1995] chords
Start Jamming...
Last year, I think it was about February time, we were in [N] the middle of a tour.
We were going from Edinburgh back down south.
One day off, we thought, right, let's go to London, Barney, for a date.
Refreshment, and the sun was setting, and we were sitting in these little prayer halls on the rock.
And it was just like, suddenly I thought, all these images of things.
And somebody got a pen, somebody got paper, and managed to dig out an old piece of paper from somebody's pocket.
And it just started scribbling down, basically things that I was seeing.
Just the way the water was moving, the kelp, and there were little flocks of birds flying over the water,
and sun going down, and it was just like, because it was cold,
a mist was beginning to rise off the sea and just hide the rest of the landscape.
And it was actually quite a while later, whenever Dave came up with some musical ideas,
it seemed to get the mood to start to move.
And what does that song again?
The Kim Sloan Caughtland one.
Do you think there is something very special about here, or in a way, is it what people bring to the island as well?
It's not that I think any one place is more holy than another place,
but I think there are images here and thoughts that can help people to reflect.
I was walking around, and I saw the last bit of the night we spent here, and the sunset has been incredible.
And when you see that, the fantastic things that have come through creation,
for me it really helps me to think about God and experience Him through what He has [Bb] created.

[Eb] [Dm] With the tides of the [Bb] ocean, [Cm] and here we [Bb] are
[Ab] We have come this [Bb] far [Cm] to say, [Ab] [Bb]
[Fm] only in [Bb] this far
Here in the rock [Cm] bathed in a gentle [Ab] glow
[Eb] The golden half [Bb] of the setting sun
A shadow of wings [Cm] flying [Ab] fast and low
[Eb] Into [Dm] the distance [Bb] gone
[Cm] And here [Eb] we are
[Bb] [Eb] We have [Ab] come [Bb] this far [Cm] to say,
