[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
[solo]
F C G G F C G G F C G G F C G D
[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
