Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Chorus

 When you go will you send back

 A letter from America

 Take a look up the railtrack

 From Miami to Canada

 Broke off from my work the other day

 I spent the evening thinking about

 All the blood that flowed away

 Across the ocean to the second chance

 I wonder how it got on when it reached the promised land?

Chorus

 I've looked at the ocean

Tried hard to imagine

 The way you felt the day you sailed

 From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia

 We should have held you

We should have told you

 But you know our sense of timing

 We always wait too long

Chorus

 lochaber no more

 Sutherland no more

 Lewis no more

 Skye no more...... ( X 3 )

 I wonder my blood

Will you ever return

 To help us kick the life back

 To a dying mutual friend

 Do we not love her?

Do we not say we love her?

 Do we have to roam the world

 To prove how much it hurts?

Chorus

 Bathgate no more

 Linwood no more

 Methil no more

 Irvine no more (4 times, then last line on 4th time 'Lochaber no more')
