Runrig - Always the Winner Capo on 1st fret Intro: G, D, Em, D, C, D G When you close your eyes D Em C G Cm There's a frightened pride that lives for you Am D That your mother's life Am C D D and your father's eyes can't hide G You had no choice D Em C G Cm didn't ask the dice to fall for you Am D Still your courage comes Am C D C like thunder through the skies D G D C You're always the winner, G D the victor and the giver C Em D Am Somewhere through that winter D you'll never be alone C D Em D C For evermore the winner G D C The taker and the giver Em D Am Somewhere through that winter G you will not grow old (verse 2 is same chords as in verse 1) So you carry time down the tortured line where mysteries show Well hidden from life's learned and life's wise Mans useless ways and worthless conversation Lie well exposed and humbled in your smile (Chorus) C G Still you run out in the morning with the boys and the girls C G The miracle of innocence on a head of curls C Bm Am We'll search every reason wherever we roam to find a place D For these broken hearts and bones C G Em C We'll keep a fire on the hillsides after the summers gone Am C D G And we'll wait here till the war-wounded come home (Chorus) Enjoy!
