INTRO: (one fast lick 1st then...)
        Em  C  G  D  (4x)  Em

                          G
On a long dark loch, on a Uist moor
  D               Em
Before the winter turned
G                     D
We watched the circle round the moon
    C                     Em
The storm clouds gathered round


                        G
So I turned to you, but you were gone
     D                Em
So I turned for home alone
     G                   D
Over last year's rotting corn I walked
          C                 Em
Where the harvest winds had blown


CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away
        D         Em
Shadows from your door
    G       D        C       G
And my worn heart is young today
     D              Em
This darkest winter gone


INTERLUDE: (one fast lick 1st then...)
           Em  C  G  D  (4x)  Em


                                G
Where the darkness whines on an eerie wind
       D               Em
In the hour before the dawn
   G                   D
We scanned this wasted land for life
           C                Em
All seemed void and without form


                        G
So I turned to you, but you were gone
     D                  Em
So I stood and watched alone
          G                 D
Where the doughty clouds of first light formed
      C                 Em
Their shapes across the soul


CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away
        D         Em
Shadows from your door
    G       D        C       G
And my worn heart is young today
     D              Em    F#m  G  A  Em  F#m  G  A
This darkest winter gone


INTERLUDE: (two fast licks 1st then...)
           Em  C  G  D  (4x)  


   Em                 G
So I turned my collar to the wind
      D               Em
And I asked myself in vain
      G                  D
Did I walk out here with you today
  C            Em
Or did I come alone?


                 G
But then I saw a distant sight
  D                Em
A heart behind the grey
     G                   D
Come shining through the darkest sky
  C             Em
Establishing my way


CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away
        D         Em
Shadows from your door
    G       D        C       G
But my worn heart is young today
     D              G
This darkest winter gone


CHORUS:
    G        D          C       G
The Blinding lines have turned away
        D         Em
Shadows from your door
    G       D        C       G
But my worn heart is young today
     D              Em   
This darkest winter gone
