verse 1
BB F# minorF#m
Wipe the blood from your lip with the flesh of your hand
BB A augmentedA
There's no thorn in the side left to grow
BB F# minorF#m
So let's cherish the names that were lost for an age

With the rue now the supper must go
BB F# minorF#m
Where traditions they blend lives a home on the mend

So let's sever the shame we have come to reclaim

With the water's retreat feel the shore

E5E5 A augmentedA BB
When the red rose pales lay a thousand graves many more

Though the ghost still haunts for the day we've come to live for

Don't look back, for what's dead now is saved

The exiled are home where their souls are kept safe

Take me back on the crest of a wave

No more paddy's

Rip the greed from his heart, there's no sorrow tonight

verse 3
BB N.C.
Grab the leaf of the branch from the tree in its ground

Where the roots claimed the earth many toiled

To a land that now stands under no one's command

And her beauty let no man destroy
BB F# minorF#m
So remember the gun and the damage it's done
BB A augmentedA
The last drop has been spilled for you and I
BB F# minorF#m
Let there be no despair for the rule we once shared
D MajorD A augmentedA BB
Brush the tear from the eye that still shines
