Intro: G

G             D    G
Here hangs an open landscape 
           D        Em
A wild and huge frontier 
G                    D      C    G
  From a harsh and a barren wasteland 
                  D               G
Through the grave to the promised field 

You came, you trapped, you charted 
You laid the railroads and the schemes 
And you tamed this land by enterprise 
And by the power of your dreams 


        Em             D
But you made this Clan great 
        G                C
And you made this nation bloom 
        G                     C
And you rose with your people through the new world 
       D             G    D    G
Like a rocket to the moon 


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

And you made this Clan great 
And you made this nation bloom 
And you rose your people through the new world 
Like a rocket to the moon 


G    D         G
Hooo-Hooo hoho-ho


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 


But you made this Clan great 
And you made this nation bloom 
And you rose with your people through the new world 
Like a rocket to the moon 


Outro: G    D
