Ole Welsh Soul by Rev Hammer

   D
We crossed the border ‘tween England and Wales,

With a modern load on ancient trails,
Bm
Stopping where the circus used to go,
        D
Well we followed a map past Owen’s place,

And feasted on Vyrnwy’s misty grace,
        Bm
Saying ‘oh god, bless the valley below’,
        D                A
We were shattered by the rivers edge,
        Bm      A      G
In the cleavage of the dirt,
                  A
Counting piles of golden leaves
        Bm   A   G
For whatever it was, 
    Bm   A      G
Whatever it was worth,
   Bm      A        G
Ah that’ a place to go,
G                         Bm      A      G
Down on the old Dolgellau Road,
G                         Bm      A      G
Let it roll and a let it roll,
G                                    Bm
Well I wanna feel, feel some o’ that ole,
             A         G
Some o’ that ole Welsh soul,
       G                 Bm
Let it roll an’ a-let it roll.
      D
Where water paints the mountain sides,

Gliding down in silver tides,
        Bm
And reflecting many things we need to know,
   D
We drank our drinks when Harlech drank,

We sang it’s song and left our thanks,
        Bm
Saying ‘Oh god, bless the valley below’,
         D                A
Well I remember you as we drove into,
  Bm       A       G
A town you knew as home,
          G               A
Where the land ate the machinery,
          Bm       A      G
You could hear the engine,
          Bm       A      G
You could hear the engine groan,  
   Bm      A         G
Ah that’ a place to go,
G                         Bm      A      G
Down on the old Dolgellau Road,
G                         Bm      A      G
Let it roll and a let it roll,
G                                    Bm
Well I wanna feel, feel some o’ that ole,
             A         G
Some o’ that ole Welsh soul,
       G                 Bm
Let it roll an’ a-let it roll.
  Bm
A breakfast at Dill’s Diner,
     Bm
An a camera at Swallow Falls,
       Bm
In the slate caverns of Blaenau Ffestiniog,
Bm
Climbing up Garth Bach, 
            D
And looking back, looking back to Y Bryn,
    D
The old farmhouse,
                   Bm
Well I’m a-looking back,
           A                 G
Toward the future, don’t you know?
       G                 Bm
Let it roll and a let it roll.
     D              
Well out there in that mornin’ chill,
    D
We flew our flag upon that hill,
        Bm
Oh an’ somethin’ in the distance started to glow,
 D
Above our heads three fighters flew,
        D
And you looked at me and I looked at you,
        Bm
Saying “Oh god, bless the valley below”,
       D              A             Bm    A      G
Now if I may take you back upon the music of the road,
         G                   A
You must close your eyes and ears my dear,
    Bm      A     G
And move it in your,
   Bm      A       G
Ah move it in your soul,
   Bm      A        G
Ah that’ a place to go,
G                         Bm      A      G
Down on the old Dolgellau Road,
G                         Bm      A      G
Let it roll and a let it roll,
G                                    Bm
Well I wanna feel, feel some o’ that ole,
             A         G
Some o’ that ole Welsh soul,
Bm   A   G (repeat until fade!)
