The Old Ways Chords

(ver. 1)
Loreena Mckennitt
[Intro]
Em
Em  D/F#  C/G  Am  Em  D/F#  C/G  Am  Em

[Chorus]
               D/F#                 C/G           Am    Em
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
             D/F#              C/G           Am    Em
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you

[Verse]
                     Bm                          C
On a dark New Year's night, on the west coast of Clare
             Am            Em
I heard your voice singing
                     Bm                          C
Your eyes danced the song, your hands played the tune
                 D        Em
'Twas a vision before me

[Verse]
                    Bm                         C
We left the music behind and the dance carried on
             Am                  Em
As we stole away to the seashore
              Bm                          C
And smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
                 D
With sadness you paused

[Verse]
           Em                      Bm
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
                   C                       D
Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so
           Em                             Bm
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
               C    D  Em
And I wondered why

[Verse]
               Bm                   C
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
              Am       Em
A vision came o'er me
              Bm                 C
Of thundering hooves and beating wings
               D
In the clouds above

[Verse]
           Em                        Bm
Turning to go, heard you call out my name
                 C                            D
Like a bird in a cage, spreading its wings to fly
                  Em                     Bm
"The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew
               C    D  Em
And I wondered why

[Chorus]
               D/F#                 C/G           Am    Em
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
             D/F#              C/G           Am    Em
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you

[Chorus]
               D/F#                 C/G           Am    Em
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
             D/F#              C/G           Am    Em
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you

[Chorus]
               D/F#                 C/G           Am    Em
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
             D/F#              C/G           Am    Em
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you
