[Intro]
F#m D E x8
[Verse]
The F#mdrinking dens are spilling out and stagAgering in the square
There`s Dlads and lassies falling about and a crAackling in the Eair
F#mDown around the dungeon doors, the shAelters and the queues
DEverybody`s looking for someAbody`s arms to fEall into this way...
[Chorus]
It`s F#mwhat it is D E
It`s what it F#mis now D E
[Verse]
There`s F#mfrost on the graves and the monuments but the tAaverns are warm in town
DPeople curse the government and Ashovel hot food Edown
F#mLights are out in city hall, the Acastle and the keep
DMoon shines down upon it all the Alegless and Easleep
[Pre-Chorus]
DCold on the tollgate where the wagAons creeping through
DCold on the tollgate, god knAows what I Ecan do with you
[Chorus]
It`s what it F#mis D E
It`s what it F#mis now D E
[Verse]
The F#mgarnison sleeps in the citadel with the gAhosts and the ancient stones
DHigh on the parapet the scottish pAipers stEands alone
F#mHigh on the wind the highland drAums begin to roll
DAnd something from the past just Acomes and stares Einto my soul
[Pre-Chorus]
DCold on the tollgate where the Acaledonian blues
DCold on the tollgate, god kAnows what I can do Ewith you
[Chorus]
It`s F#mwhat it is D E
It`s what it F#mis now D E
It`s what it F#mis D E
It`s what it F#mis now D E
[Solo]
F#m A D A E x2
F#m D E x4
[Verse]
There’s a F#mchink of light as a burning wick, there’s a Alantern in the tower
DWee Willie Winkie with the candle sticks still wrAiting songs in the Ewee wee hours
On F#mCharlotte Street they take a walking Astick from my hotel
DThe ghost of Dirty Dick is still in Asearch of Little ENell
[Chorus]
It`s F#mwhat it is D E
It`s what it F#mis now D E
It`s what it F#mis D E
It`s what it F#mis now...D E
[Outro]
F#m D E x24
