C majorC G+G FF
If you could fill a vale with shells from Killiney's shore

Between what is

🎸 Verse :
C majorC G+G FF
If you could hold the frozen flow of New Hope Creek
C majorC G+G FF
And hide out from the one they said you might meet

That you never wanted heard

If you could stall the southern wind

That's whistling in your ears

You could take what is

what is
N.C.
To what can never be

One man of seventy whispers "free at last"

Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
C majorC G+G
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month

Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
C majorC
Five burned with tyres
G+G
Six men still inside
FF
And seven more days to shake
N.C.
at the great divide

The Gulf, the gulf of Araby

We would gladly give them up

To bring you back to us

what is
N.C.
To what can never be

One man of seventy whispers "not free yet"

Three tyrants grab the reins in the summer's heat

Four prisoners lost in the fallacy

And six
I'm dead inside
FF
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
