  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
