Rogers Stan - Giant guitar tab

From: Barrie McCombs

GIANT Time: 3/4 Tenor: C Bass: C

- Stan Rogers, 1976, on: Fogarty's Cove

1 * 5m7 *

Cold wind on the harbour and rain on the road

1 * 4 *

Wet promise of winter brings recourse to coal

3b/5 * 1 4

There's fire in the blood and a fog on Bras d'Or

3b 7b 1 *

The giant will rise with the moon____

1 * 5m7 *

'Twas the same ancient fever in the Isles of the Blest

1 * 4 *

That our fathers brought with them when they "went West"

3b/5 * 1 4

It's the blood of the Druids that never will rest

3b 7b 1 *

The giant will rise with the moon____

CHORUS (AFTER VERSES 2, 3, 4)

3b . 7b 1 7b 4

So crash the glass down, move with the tide

3b * 4 1

Young friends and old whiskey are burning in-side

3b . 7b 1 7b 4 5/4 4 *

Crash the glass down, Fingal will rise_______

3b * * * 1

With the moon___________

In inclement weather the people are fey

Three thousand year stories as the night slips away

Remembering Fingal feels not far away

The giant will rise with the moon

The wind's in the North, there'll be new moon tonight

But we have no circle to dance in its sight

So light a torch, bring the bottle, and build the fire bright

The giant will rise with the moon
