Intro is cold open with one strum on G
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
(Just one strum per cord)
G They say mother earth is breathing G With each wave that finds the shore G Her soul rises in the evening G For to open twilights door Em G Her eyes are the stars in heaven C Watching o'er us all the while G D And her heart it is in Ireland G Deep within the Emerald Isle
[Verse 2]
(Begin Struming)
G We are forty against hundreds G In someone else's bloody war G We know not why were fighting G Or what we're dying for Em G They will storm us in the morning C When the sunlight turns to sky G D Death is waiting for it's dance now G Fate has sentenced us to die
[Chorus]
Em C G Ireland I am coming home C G I can see your rolling fields of green Em D And fences made of stone Em G C G I am reaching out won't you take my hand Em C G I'm coming home I-re-land
[Verse 3]
G Oh the captain he lay bleeding G I can hear him calling me G These men are yours now for the leading G Show them to their destiny Em G As I look up all around me C I see the ragged tired and torn G D I tell them to make ready G 'Cause we're not waiting for the morn
[Chorus]
Em C G Ireland I am coming home C G I can see your rolling fields of green Em D And fences made of stone Em G C G I am reaching out won't you take my hand Em C G I'm coming home I-re-land
[Verse 4]
(palm mute)
G Now the fog is deep and heavy G As we forge the dark and fear G We can hear their horses breathing G As in silence we draw near Em G There are no words to be spoken C Just a look to say good-bye G D I draw a breath and night is broken G As I scream our battle cry
[Chorus]
Em C G Ireland I am coming home C G I can see your rolling fields of green Em D And fences made of stone Em G C G I am reaching out won't you take my hand Em C G I'm coming home I-re-land
[Outro]
