Verse 
    E 
Sunburst 
B               E 
On the morning moor 
             G#m 
The light of God 
      A        E 
The heart of youth 

I look around me 
    B               A             Asus4 
My eyes find their rest on this garden 
     F#m           B 
The flower of the west 


             E 
The silent skies 
             E 
An innocent heart 
             A     G#m 
Holding the moment away 
F#m              E 
From time in the dark 
       E        
All I see. All I know 
                 A      G#m 
Is touching the sacred earth 
     F#m                  E 
And warming the hallowed ground 


Bridge 

B   A       B      F#m 
  Walk on        Walk on 


Vocal section 
E                
I survive the childhood universe 
      B 
And I step the naked heath 
           E 
Where the breathing of the vanished 
         B 
Lies in acres round my feet 
E                
Loch Scadavagh Loch Fada 
          B 
And the flatlands to the east 
           E 
Where the dark blue mass of Eval 
           B 
Meets the rising Rock of Lee 
             E 
Between the Crogary and Maairi 
   B 
I started to descend 
         E  
Loch Aongais on my left hand side 
   B 
I look across to Clett 
         E 
Collies barking on the outrun 
     B 
Dunlin dancing on the sand 
           A               
Breakers show round Corran Vallique 
     D           F#m            B 
And empty the Atlantic on the strand 


The rest of the verses/Chorus use the same chords 


Sunrise 
The colour frontier 
The ageing light 
The sight that knows no fear 
I look over Orinsay to the Trumisgarry shore 
To Aloter 
And the road to Ahmore 

The silent skies 
An innocent heart 
Holding the moment away 
From time in the dark 
All I see. All I know 
Is touching the sacred earth 
Warming the hallowed ground 

Enjoy!
