Trail Of The Survivor

F C G G  F C G G   F C G G   F C G D

[Verse 1]

G
Oh they tell their tales to the wide young eyes
          F     C           F         C
Of the fertile plains the cloudless skies
     G
But honesty must take the strain
       F         C           F         C
Where lies move fast like a roaring train

[Chorus]

         Bb                        F
And the shy ones bleed while the sure ones fail
        G
On the trail of the survivor
         Bb                        F
And the trade winds blow through a burning sail
        G
On the trail of the survivor

[Verse 2]

         G
And they make their moves around the virgin light
              F     C             F         C
Leave their filthy stains on the clear and bright
      G
But hope can never be restrained
          F     C              F          C
Where freedom's hand has been nailed and chained

[Chorus]

         Bb                        F
And the shy ones bleed while the sure ones fail
        G
On the trail of the survivor
         Bb                        F
And the trade winds blow through a burning sail
        G
On the trail of the survivor

[Verse 3]

      G
And sleep will come, it comes to us all
      F         C       F         C
And some will fade and some will fall
           G
But the distance gained is never gained at all
     F         C           F       C
And Atholl's children we rise and fall


[Chorus]

         Bb                        F
And the shy ones bleed while the sure ones fail
        G
On the trail of the survivor
         Bb                        F
And the trade winds blow through a burning sail
        G
On the trail of the survivor

[Chorus]

         Bb                        F
And the shy ones bleed while the sure ones fail
        G
On the trail of the survivor
         Bb                        F
And the trade winds blow through a burning sail
        G
On the trail of the survivor
