On a bright September day in fall
F C
We sailed away from Montreal
F C G
And I hung upon the railing high
F C
And I waved the world I knew goodbye
G F C
Sailed from home across the sea
G F C
The other side, the heart of me
F C G
And I just stood and waved my hand
F C
In my world in the promised land
F C G
And we ran like hares, ran through the close
F C
Doon tae the burn, in spate it rose
F C G
We stood on the bridge by the bowling green
F C
laughed our words in steady streams
G F C
The arc of stone across the river
G F C
And a moment hung in time forever
F C G
And the sun shone on us, every man
F C
In my world in the promised land

F C G
Night came black, with death adorning
F C
Grampa's dead and Granny's mourning
F C G
Brithers and sisters all came doon
F C
Sat there greeting in the living room
G F C
The emptiness of what was left
G F C
We sat there in that house of death
F C G
And we hung our heads and wrung our hands
F C
In my world in the promised land
F C G
So I never saw him lying there
F C
I never climbed the scaffold stair
F C G
My father left it up to me
F C
To choose to see or not to see
G F C
But death's a road we walk alone
G F C
But I read the words upon the stone
F C G
He's sitting still, his pipe in hand
F C
In my world in the promised land
F C G
Oh, he's sitting still, his pipe in hand
F C
Oh, in my world in the promised land
