The Wind That Shakes The Barley chords by Irish Roses

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
 DmDm       G minorGm   A minorAm    DmDm   C majorC    DmDm
I sat within the valley green, I sat me with my true love
  DmDm          G minorGm   A minorAm    DmDm    C majorC    DmDm
My sad heart strove the two between, the old love and the new love
  DmDm        C majorC        Bb majorBb        A augmentedA
The old for her, the new that made me think on Ireland dearly
   DmDm    G minorGm    DmDm    A minorAm    DmDm    C majorC   DmDm
While soft the wind blew down the glen and shook the golden barley

Verse 2:
   DmDm       G minorGm    A minorAm    A minorAm    C majorC     DmDm
'Twas hard the woeful words to frame to break the ties that bound us
  DmDm        G minorGm    A minorAm    DmDm    C majorC   DmDm
But harder still to bear the shame of foreign chains around us
  DmDm        C majorC         Bb majorBb       A augmentedA
And so I said, "The mountain glen I'll seek at morning early
   DmDm    G minorGm  DmDm  A minorAm     DmDm     C majorC    DmDm
And join the bold united men, while soft winds shake the barley"

Verse 3:
   DmDm      G minorGm    A minorAm    DmDm    C majorC     DmDm
While sad I kissed away her tears, my fond arms round her flinging
   DmDm         G minorGm   A minorAm    DmDm    C majorC    DmDm
The foeman's shot burst on our ears from out the wildwood ringing
  DmDm        C majorC          Bb majorBb           A augmentedA
A majorA bullet pierced my true love's side in life's young spring so early
  DmDm   G minorGm    DmDm    A minorAm     DmDm     C majorC    DmDm
And on my breast in blood she died while soft winds shook the barley

Verse 4:
 DmDm        G minorGm    A minorAm    DmDm     C majorC   DmDm
I bore her to some mountain stream and many's the summer blossom
  DmDm          G minorGm    A minorAm  DmDm    C majorC      DmDm
I placed with branches soft and green about her blood-stained bosom
  DmDm         C majorC           Bb majorBb         A augmentedA
I wept and kissed her clay-cold corpse then rushed o'er vale and valley
  DmDm    G minorGm   DmDm   A minorAm     DmDm     C majorC    DmDm
My vengeance on the foe to wreak while soft wind shook the barley

Verse 5:
   DmDm         G minorGm   A minorAm    DmDm    C majorC   DmDm
But blood for blood without remorse I've taken at Oulart Hollow
   DmDm         G minorGm    A minorAm     DmDm   C majorC    DmDm
And laid my true love's clay cold corpse where I here soon may follow
  DmDm        C majorC          Bb majorBb       A augmentedA
As round her grave I wander drear, noon, night and early morning
   DmDm    G minorGm    DmDm   A minorAm   DmDm     C majorC     DmDm
With breaking heart when e'er I hear the wind that shakes the barley
   DmDm    G minorGm    DmDm   A minorAm   DmDm     C majorC     DmDm
