-To Youth(My Sweet Roisin Dubh)
Verse 1:
C G Tell me why must a man be of service C G To his lord and the god seldom high C G From the grave spring the name of our fathers C Am D But there's no glint in a dead man's eye C G Tell me why are our fields filled with hunger C G And fruitless the crop bitter soil C G So I say my farewell to a nation C Am D As the leaf waves goodbye to it's son
Chorus
C G So it's to youth I sing you this story C G And it's of youth I sing it now C G Like the train that derails without warning Am D I must leave what I left far behind C D So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh G C G C G C G I say goodbye
Verse 2:
C G Tell me why must our peace be this puzzle C G That fractures the land, splinters war C G The last nails cite the shame in our coffin C Am D But in the end we must all die alone
Chorus
C G So it's to youth I sing you this story C G And it's of youth I sing it now C G Like the train that derails without warning Am D I must leave what I left far behind C D So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh G C G C G C G I say goodbye
Bridge:
D And the bark fell from tree C G To the ground that they'll bleed D G On the anguish that never learned to shout D With the clash of the drum C G We'll surrender the gun D G and on this sadness we shall no longer speak C G Until time can live on our all forgotten songs C D That's when I and we will sing again G C D G So goodbye to my love, my sweet Roisin Dubh G C G C D G G C G Goodbye now until we meet again C G Tell me why must our grief still be greiving C G For a language that never spoke it's loss C G But this tongue speak with fire will tear down the barb wire N.C. And Rip the belly from the waxy ghost
Chorus
C G So it's to youth I sing you this story C G And it's of youth I sing it now C G Like the train that derails without warning Am D I must leave what I left far behind C G So it's to youth I sing you this story C G And it's of youth I sing it now C G Like the train that derails without warning Am D I must leave what I left far behind C D So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh G C G C I say goodbye C D So goodbye, sweet Roisin Dubh G C G C I say goodbye G C G C Until we meet again G C G C Until we meet again
Until we meet...
Outro:
G Then she arrives to beautify D But slumber now must rest G Oh my Roisin Dubh C I'll forever love G D G The youth you once possessed
That's it!!! Most of this song is mandolin driven. But sounds just fine on guitar as
