The King of Dunmail Raise
mike turnbull
Dm C Bb C
The finest spray blows upon a hillside, where Saxon men & Dumail warriors hide.
A flash of steel wielding over land, battle dress & decisions by the hand.
Glory to the warriors of age, who wait, who wait, who wait, who wait,
Glory to the ones we see today, and they wait, they wait for the King,
The King of Dunmail Raise.
Underneath close scrutiny the lion peers, cold of stone his home for a million years.
A witness to a tragedy of this age, injustice of the lamb we see today.
Glory to…
F
Please consign this crown to the depths of a lake,
Bb
Til Dunmail come to lead us again we will wait.
F
My warriors draw up this circlet of gold,
Bb C
Place on my Dunmail cairn and wait to be told.
Glory to…
Bb C
Outro: Rpt.... The King of Dunmail Raise.
Then stay on Bb to finish.

Mike Turnbull Kendal, UK
"Mike Turnbull is a singer-songwriter from the Lake District, UK whose main instruments are tenor guitar & octave mandola.
Their sound coupled with the sources of his songs suggests Seth Lakeman and, in truth, that isn’t a bad comparison. He certainly has the same drive and energy."

Independent artist and
session musician for heavyrainsoundstudio.com Kendal.
