A
When the time comes
D
And the last day dawns
A
And the air of the piper warms

The high crags of the old country
A
When the holy wind blows
D
Like burned paper away
A
And wise men concede
E
That there’s more than one way
D
More than one path
A
More than one book
D
More than one fisherman
E
More than one hook
Fm E D
When the cats have all been skinned
Fm E D
And the fish have all been hooked

When the masters of war
D E
Are our masters no more
A
When old friends take their whiskey
D
Outside on the porch
A
Raise a glass to their comrades
D
Who carry their torches
A
We will have done well
D
If we’re able to say
A
As the sun settles down
E
On that final day
D
That we never gave in
A
That we did all we could
Bm/F# D E
So the kids could go fishing
A
In crystal clear brooks.
