Rocket To The Moon

[G]  [G]

[G]Here hangs an [D]open l[G]andscape
[G]A wild and h[D]uge front[Em]ier
[G]From a harsh and a b[D]arren w[C]astela[G]nd
[G]Through the grave [D]to the promised f[G]ield
[G]You came, you t[D]rapped, you c[G]harted
[G]You laid the railroads [D]and the sch[Em]emes
[G]And you tamed this l[D]and by e[C]nterpr[G]ise
[G]And by the po[D]wer of your dre[G]ams

But you m[Em]ade this Clan g[D]reat
And you m[G]ade this nation b[C]loom
And you r[G]ose
With your people through the n[C]ew world
Like a r[D]ocket to the m[G]oon

[G]Oh  [C]ho  [G]oh

From the olden coasts of Ireland
From the Hebridean shores
With the forgotten chosen ones
Running from Europe in droves

(Chorus)

There's a town in Manitoba
They say the windows touch the sky
But across the brine the shipyards close
In this garden flowers die

Still the homelands divide us
Like your blood red brothers of the plains
But where they grieve a candle still burns
A prayer from a flicker to a flame
