CAPO 1
Intro is cold open with one strum on G+G

Intro:

G+G


Verse 1:
(Just one strum per cord)

             G+G
They say mother earth is breathing
                G+G
With each wave that finds the shore
           G+G
Her soul rises in the evening
           G+G
For to open twilights door
     E minorEm       G+G
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
             C majorC
Watching o'er us all the while
            G+G     D MajorD
And her heart it is in Ireland
            G+G
Deep within the Emerald Isle

Verse 2:
(Begin Struming)

           G+G
We are forty against hundreds
             G+G
In someone else's bloody war
           G+G
We know not why were fighting
          G+G
Or what we're dying for
      E minorEm       G+G
They will storm us in the morning
              C majorC
When the sunlight turns to sky
             G+G       D MajorD
Death is waiting for it's dance now
             G+G
Fate has sentenced us to die


Chorus:

E minorEm   C majorC      G+G
Ireland I am coming home
   C majorC         G+G
I can see your rolling fields of green
  E minorEm       D MajorD
And fences made of stone
   E minorEm   G+G       C majorC    G+G
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
      E minorEm  C majorC  G+G
I'm coming home I-re-land

Verse 3:

           G+G
Oh the captain he lay bleeding
            G+G
I can hear him calling me
                 G+G
These men are yours now for the leading
            G+G
Show them to their destiny
   E minorEm      G+G
As I look up all around me
              C majorC
I see the ragged tired and torn
          G+G     D MajorD
I tell them to make ready
                 G+G
'Cause we're not waiting for the morn


Chorus:

E minorEm   C majorC      G+G
Ireland I am coming home
   C majorC         G+G
I can see your rolling fields of green
  E minorEm       D MajorD
And fences made of stone
   E minorEm   G+G       C majorC    G+G
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
      E minorEm  C majorC  G+G
I'm coming home I-re-land


Verse 4:
(palm mute)

            G+G
Now the fog is deep and heavy
             G+G
As we forge the dark and fear
             G+G
We can hear their horses breathing
           G+G
As in silence we draw near
     E minorEm       G+G
There are no words to be spoken
          C majorC
Just a look to say good-bye
               G+G    D MajorD
I draw a breath and night is broken
            G+G
As I scream our battle cry


Chorus:

E minorEm   C majorC      G+G
Ireland I am coming home
   C majorC         G+G
I can see your rolling fields of green
  E minorEm       D MajorD
And fences made of stone
   E minorEm   G+G       C majorC    G+G
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
      E minorEm  C majorC  G+G
I'm coming home I-re-land
