Auld Wives

Am - F Am


[VERSE]
Am
Auld wives lift, auld wives lift
              G            F
How have you got here?
              G
Where do you come from?
             Am
What do you tell?

Am
I see his face, I see his face
            G                 F
Carved deep in the stone
         G                    Am
Another mind you have taken away


[CHORUS]
      F               Am        G
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
   F                 Am            G
A trace of all that you've left behind
         F                     Am               G
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
            F           Am            G
Without a child for to call out your name


[VERSE]
       Am
Now I call your name, I call your name
               G                 F
But you can't hear me now
               G            Am
No, you don't recognise my face

Am
Who are you? Who are you?
                G                F
And why do you call me that?
     G                Am
How dare you call me that


[CHORUS]
      F               Am        G
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
   F                 Am            G
A trace of all that you've left behind
         F                     Am               G
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
            F           Am            G
Without a child for to call out your name


[BRIDGE]
                F  Am  G
But I call your na-aa-aame
            F  Am  G
I call your na-aa-aame
            F  Am  G
I call your na-aa-aame
            F  Am  G
I call your na-aa-aame

[CHORUS]
      F               Am        G
But I swam across the ocean to find your memory
   F                 Am            G
A trace of all that you've left behind
         F                     Am               G
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
            F           Am            G
Without a child for to call out your name
