Chords for Silly Wizard Live - Land O' The Leal

_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ I'd like to sing you [N] a traditional song now from Scotland and quite an old song this,
quite an unusual one too because it's kind of, it's a very sad kind of a song really
on the face of it.
It's a song called Land of the Leel.
The word leel is spelt in Old Scots L-E-A-L and it means something that's trustworthy
or true or good all the way through.
Kind of like Shamu the Killer Whale. _ _
_ _ _ _ No, is that in, it's in Florida or something?
Johnny's been to Florida and sometimes you get little bits of information from them but
[E] they're totally unconnected with anything else that's happening so you've got to really
try and [G] piece it all together yourself, you know what I mean?
It's a whale, it's a gigantic [N] whale with its own theme song _ _ _ [Gm] _ and [Bm] people swim about [G] with
it and it doesn't tear [N] the face off them or anything.
[A] It's a really brilliant thing.
So you'd say this whale was actually a leel?
It was a [N] leel whale.
_ Shamu is a leel whale.
And it has its own?
It has its own show.
It's actually in better nick than we [B] are.
It has [E] a regular [D] show there until its death.
_ [Bb] _ _ Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen, the career of Shamu the [N] Killer Whale. _ _ _ _
_ _ Never mind Johnny, one day you'll have your own theme song I'm sure as well.
_ Your own sort of land, you know, that you can_
A cholesterol world. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You see, Scotland's one of the very few places left that cigarettes and fried breakfasts
are still good for you. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] It's a very hard place to leave, you know what I mean?
_ [E] Anyway, we'll try and get by but thanks for telling us about Shamu the Killer Whale.
[Bm] See to let you understand a wee bit more [N] about Johnny is, the only way I can really sort
of describe him is, do you know when_
Have you ever been on the phone or something and you've got your feet up on your desk in
front of you and you're rocking back and forward on a chair and you're kind of engrossed in
what you're saying or something and you don't notice that you've just moved that little
bit too [B] far back?
And you know that horrifying instant when you don't know [E] if you're going to plunge backwards
to your death [Am] or if you're going to land back on the desk [B] and be able to continue the [D] conversation
okay [Ab] without the person on the other end [Bb] thinking that you're a maniac?
You know that horrifying instant where your life's just_
[N] _ That's how Johnny feels all the time. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah.
_ [Dm] Anyway, we'll press on with this song and see what happens.
[G] _ [Dm] The _ _ _ _
[D] _ song is actually about a [G] [D] man who knows he's not [E] long for this world and he's [N] saying
his final farewell to [Abm] his wife Jean.
And he's saying that although it's a very sad thing to part in that way at the end of
a life, that it's only a temporary parting.
They'll meet again in the land of the Leel, which is heaven. _ _

in [C] the land [Am] of [D] the Leel. _
[G] And [D] we're in [Em] the wad, Jean.
