A folk song with picked guitar and fiddle

Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song

We've travelled along most of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way over the last few years and can't wait to get back. Truly awesome!

Lyrics

There's a storm on the horizonEm   F#m
Grey lines lance across the seaEm   F#m
And the grasses in the wind they bend and swayGAD
And the sun that all relies onEm   F#m
Glimmers weak and wateryEm   F#m
As the waves pound at the rocks along GA
the Wild Atlantic WayB

You can barely hear the gulls cry
For the roaring of the wind
And you know that time and tide must have their day
But you think you feel the peat sigh
As the landfall rain begins
And the whole earth seems to tremble  'long the Wild Atlantic Way

But still you stand there shiveringC#m G#m   
Rooted to landA    E
Your mind can't stop it's ditheringC#m G#m   
Hard to understandAsus4Bsus4
But you feel the strength beneath your feetC#m   G#m   A
As lightning roils in flashing sheetsC#m   G#m   A
And power flows up and down to meetC#m   G#m   A
The answer's in your handAsus4Bsus4

For fast blown storms are fleeting
And the heavy rain will pass
Soon to be no more than ocean spray
Sunlight may be fleeting through
Or then again may last
Hard to judge the future on the Wild Atlantic Way

But then the wall of ash grey shatters
As  light cuts searing through
Life itself will go on, come what may

(repeat this music section)
The core of all that matters
Glistens strong and true
Maybe things will all turn out OK

The sun will come the rain will end
Good things are waiting round the bend
A rainbow's end to every friend
On the Wild Atlantic Way


E  
On the Wild Atlantic Way
