We left our homes in the spring sunshine

D               A         Bm       D
Things came alive when I knew they weren't mine

D           A        Bm            D
Falling in line didn't matter at all

D              A         Bm             D
We knew we'd go when we each heard the call

The pylons found fault lines to run through the heart

D                 A             Bm            D
The heart of the land beat with odd fits and starts

D                       A         Bm         D
So they ran round the oldest and grey of the hills

D                     A          Bm       D
So as to let the old die without power or pills

Dublin to Cork though you never heard told

D                      A       Bm             D
There's a line of good men with eyes wet and bold

D                      A             Bm             D
Where they weep for the crows bearing twigs for the nest

D             A           Bm                D
Changing the shape of the trees they loved best

The ghost of O'Donahue scared not the lad

D               A              Bm              D
Who in desert respect lost the smile he borne glad

D                    A           Bm              D
Sat quite chief and folorn and pitched with the spectre

D              A             Bm              D
Escaped all exhaustions and prayers from the rector

Bm       D                  Em11                    D
And with glancing devout pulled a frown from his sack

Bm                           D         Em11           A
Weighed with loaves from the oven and ale from the rack

In the last days of my life

                 Em11              Dsus2
Oh I won't know whether to laugh or cry
