Follow the Heron - Karine Polwart

G                         C
The back of the winter is broken
    D7                        G
And light lingers long by the door
G                                C
And the seeds of the summer have spoken
   D7                       G
In gowans that bloom on the shore

|Chorus
|   D                   G               C
|By night and day we'll sport and we'll play
|      G                                 D
|And delight as the dawn dances over the bay
|G                                     C
|Sleep blows the breath of the morning away
|       D7               G
|And we follow the heron home

G                       C
In darkness we cradled our sorrow
    D7                        G
And stoked all our fires with fear
G                                 C
Now these bones that lie empty and hollow
   D7                     G
Are ready for gladness to cheer

[Chorus]

G                         C
So long may you sing of the salmon
    D7                        G
And the snow-scented sounds of your home
G                                 C
While the north wind delivers its sermon
   D7                     G
Of ice and salt water and stone
