Chords for Karine Polwart - Follow the Heron. Shrewsbury Folk Festival 2009

I'll sing this in praise of the chair because they were quite fantastic this weekend.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ The back of the winter herd is _ [B] _
broken
_ And light lingers long [E] by the [Am] door _ _ _ _
And the seeds of the summer have [B] _ spoken
_ _ In gallons that bloom [E] on the [A] shore
_ _ _ By [E] _ _
night and day we'll sport and we'll play
Until light as the dawn dances over the bay
_ [D] Sleep blows the [E] breath of [A] the morning [D] _ away
And we follow [E] _ the hidden _ home
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In darkness we cradled our _ sorrow
[A] _
And stoked on our [E] fires with fear
_ _ _ [A] Now these [E] bones that lie empty and _ _ [D] hollow
_ Are ready for [E] _ gladness to cheer _
_ And by _ night and day we'll [A] sport and [B] we'll play
Until light [E] as the dawn dances over the bay
_ [C#]
Sleep blows the [E] breath of [A] the morning _ _ [D] away
And we follow [A] _
[E] the hidden _ home _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So long may you sing of the _ salmon
[D] _ [A] And the snow [E] scented sounds of your home
_ _ _ While the north wind delivers _ its _ [D] sermon
_ [A] _ Of ice and [E] salt water and stone _ _
By _ _ night and day we'll sport and [B] we'll play
Until [E] light as the dawn dances over the bay
_ _ [C#] Sleep blows the [E] breath of the [A] morning _ away
And we follow [E] the hidden _ [A] home _ _ _
By _ _ night and day we'll [A] sport and [B] we'll play
Until [A]
light [E] as the dawn dances over the bay
_ [F#] Sleep blows the [E] breath [A] of the morning _ _
[D] away
And we [A] follow [E] the hidden _ _ _ _ home _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank _ _ _ _ _ _ you very much indeed, cheers!
