Leon, my apologies. Incidentally, I tripped over a forum on one of the Google sites. There are about 25 posters there looking for the tabs for that song, too. I will look later, but don't hold yer breath.

Leon,

I do not understand how tabs work. Here are the tabs for a soneg entitled "Broken Wings" by aomeone or something called 'Soil'.

You'll know in a flash is this could be it.

Leon,

Popups with it, but they cancel easily.

Clkick on the Cashed with the list. Maybe in there.

Google Dougie's own site and you can get the songbooks. Chords and piano melody rather than tab, but I've found them accurate so far.

If I wasn't at work I could look up the site address and which book Broken Wings is in.

Here are the lyrics, from www.dougiemaclean.com


BROKEN WINGS
Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean. Published by Limetree Arts and Music

Tall tree, turn and face the west,

O we're running with the wind.

High cliff-top, we're waiting with the rest

For this journey to begin.
 


Refrain:

These broken wings won't fly,

These broken wings won't fly at all.
 


And how we laugh, maybe we should crawl

And ask to be excused.

We shout loudly, have answers to it all,

O but we have been refused.

(Ref.)


Girl child, you're dancing with the stream,

Growing with the silver trees.

Your young questions, you ask me what it means,

O but I am not at ease.

(Ref.)

The melody would seem to work well with pretty simple chords (as most of Dougie MacLean's songs do).

Hi Leon,

I have the tab for this beautiful song.E-mail me at gbm1@talktalk.net and I will send it to you.You can also check me out playing this song on my YouTube channel.Go to YouTube and type in the word shargram and you will see me perform it.I have videod several of Dougie's songs so check them out also.The song was written by Robert Tannahill of the Tannahill Weavers but Dougie has arranged it superbly and made his rendition the definative version.

Hi Leon,

Ignore what I said about who wrote Broken Wings.It was NOT Robert Tannahill(He wrote Gloomy Winter), it was Dougie himself who wrote Broken Wings.Sorry, my mistake.
