Rocket To The Moon Chords

[Intro]
G   G
 
[Verse 1] {Slow fingerstyle}
G             D    G
Here hangs an open landscape
G           D        Em
A wild and huge frontier
G                   D        C  G
From a harsh and a barren wasteland
G                 D                G
Through the grave to the promised field
 
[Chorus]
        Em             D
But you made this Clan great
        G                C
And you made this nation bloom
        G
And you rose
          D                  C
With your people through the new world
       D              G
Like a rocket to the moon
 
[Verse 2] {Fast Strum}
G              D           G
You came, you trapped, you charted
G                      D        Em
You laid the railroads and the schemes
G                   D       C     G
And you tamed this land by enterprise
G            D            G
And by the power of your dreams
 
[Verse 3]
G             D          G
From the olden coasts of Ireland
G           D       Em
From the Hebridean shores
G        D         C      G
With the forgotten chosen ones
G                D     G
Running from Europe in droves
 
[Chorus]
        Em             D
But you made this Clan great
        G                C
And you made this nation bloom
        G
And you rose
                             C
With your people through the new world
       D              G
Like a rocket to the moon
 
[Bridge]
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
[Verse 4]
G                 D   G
There's a town in Manitoba
G            D                 Em
They say the windows touch the sky
G              D         C         G
But across the brine the shipyards close
G       D              G
In this garden flowers die
 
[Chorus]
        Em             D
But you made this Clan great
        G                C
And you made this nation bloom
        G
And you rose
          D                  C
With your people through the new world
       D              G
Like a rocket to the moon
 
[Bridge]
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh {Slow fingerpicking}
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 
[Verse 5] {Slow fingerpicking}
G             D      G
Still the homelands divide us
G                   D               Em     D
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
G              D        C            G
But where they grieve a candle still burns
G       {pause} D            G
A prayer from a flicker to a flame {Fast strum}
 
[Chorus] {Fast strum}
        Em             D
But you made this Clan great
        G                C
And you made this nation bloom
        G
And you rose
          D                  C
With your people through the new world
       D              G
Like a rocket to the moon
 
[Bridge]
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G        D              C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
