Misc Traditional – Comrades Fill No Glass For Me (Guitar)

    G                 C
Oh! Comrades, fill no glass for me

   G                A      D
To drown my soul in liquid flame

    G               C
For if I drank, the toast would be

   G                 D          G
To blighted forture, health and fame.

              C       G
Yet, though I long to quell the strife

     A                        D7
That passion holds against my life,

       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,

    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.

       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,

    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.

  G                  C
I know a breast that once was light

      G                  A       D
Whose patient sufferings need my care

  G                  C
I know a hearth that once was bright,

    G                   D       G
But drooping hopes have nestled there.

               C          G
Then while the tear drops nightly steal

     A                            D7
From wounded hearts that I should heal

       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,

    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.

       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,

    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.

     G             C
When I was young I felt the tide

   G           A   D
Of aspirations undefiled,

    G                    C
But manhood's years have wronged the pride

   G                D        G
My parents centered in their child.

           C               G
Then, by a mother's sacred tear,

   A               D7
By all that memory should revere,

       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,

    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.

       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,

    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.
