When The Shouting Is Over

Kris Drever


Tom: C

C/G
Turn like a wheel,
         Am
into the road,
         G
into the next town

C/G
Take a drink but buy your meal,
            Am
out of the point,
            G
we wait for tight lives (?)

[Pre-Chorus]
        Am               G
Build a wall and make it high,
        C/G               F
don't deny your hungry brothers
             Am                G
If you dig a well then make it deep,
         C/G               F
and if it spoils then dig another
              Am         G
Remember our faces every day,
          C/G
that you roam

C7

[Chorus]
F                Em
When the race is run,
         Am              D7
and the shouting is all over,
        C/G
come on home

[Bridge]
C/G F G C/G x4

[Verse]
C/G
Plough through the fields,
                  Am
push through the crowds,
         G
beg and steal

C/G
Walk through walls, fill empty halls,
                 Am
stand where the magic,
           G
meets the real

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                 G
Fly and don't come down,
C/G                            F
unless there's no one there to stop you,
Am                   G
Make thunder when you run,
                   C/G               F
know that there's no one who can top you,
Am                        G
if you're tired if you're down,
              C/G
we'll never drop you

C7

[Chorus]
F                Em
When the race is run,
         Am              D7
and the shouting is all over,
        C/G
come on home
