Christy Moore – Gortatagort (Guitar)

Am
I sing The Field I sing The Farm

Em
I sing The House my Mother was born

F
In Gortatagort Colomane

C
A green jewel

Am
Sewn in a patchwork quilt of fields

Em
Between the mountain and the River

F
In this time now and in another

C
Where I ran free with my brothers

Am
Through the Longmeadow The Cnocan Rua

Em
The Fortfield The Pairc na Claise

F
The Newhouse field The Guillane Field

C
The Clover Field The Rushy Field

F         G           Am                 Em
Where the Red Fuschia weeps in The Hen's Garden

F              G          Am
And the angels bleed over Bantry Bay

Am
I see The House I see The Yard

Em
I see The Stall I see The Stable

F
I see The Haggart and The Sandy Field

C
I see The Hill I see The Well

Am
I sing The Spring of Well Water

Em
I sing The Field of Standing Stones

The South Rey Grass The North Rey Grass

The Break and The Paircin na hEornan

F         G           Am                 Em
Where the Red Fuschia weeps in The Hen's Garden

F         G                    Am            Em
Where God goes to sleep in the hills and the valleys

F         G         Am        Em
Where the Moon rises over The Haggart

F         G          Am        Em
Where peace descends on Gortatagort

F         G                 Am
Where the angels bleed over Bantry Bay

Saddle up the old grey mare,
