Gary Moore – Emerald (Guitar)

Am                 G        C            C B
Down from the glen came the marchin' men

Am                C          G
With their shields and their swords.

Am                    G   C                 C B
To fight the fight they believed to be right,

Am            G   E
Overthrow the overlords.

Am          G            C          C B
To the towns where there was plenty

Am               C     G              C B
They brought plunder, swords and flames.

Am                  G    C           C B
When they left, the town was empty,

Am                  G        E
And the children would never play again.

Am                G         C      C B
From the graves I heard the fallen

Am        C     G         C B
Above the battlecry

Am             G        C       C B
By that bridge near the border,

Am            G        E
There was many more to die.

Am         G        C          C B
And onward over the mountains,

Am          C       G     C B
And out towards the sea.

Am          G         C          C B
They come to flame the emeralds,

Am               G        E
Without it they could not leave.
