C G F
C  G  F



🎸 Verse :
             C                G                      F
If you could fill a vale with shells from Killiney's shore
    C               G                    F
And sweet talk in a tongue that is no more
       G                      C          G             F
And if wishful thoughts could bridge The Gulf of Araby
             C
Between what is
G

 what is
F
 what is
N.C.
And what can never be

C   G   F
C   G   F



🎸 Verse :
             C               G                     F
If you could hold the frozen flow of New Hope Creek
    C                  G                      F
And hide out from the one they said you might meet
                 G               F
And if you could unlearn all the words
         G            F
That you never wanted heard
            G                       F
If you could stall the southern wind
       G                 F
That's whistling in your ears
                   C
You could take what is
G
what is
F
what is
N.C.
To what can never be

🎸 Refrain:
C              G
One man of seventy whispers "free at last"
F
Two neighbors who are proud of their massacres
C                    G
Three tyrants torn away in a winter's month
F
Four prisoners framed by a dirty judge
C
Five burned with tyres
G
Six men still inside
F
And seven more days to shake
N.C.
at the great divide
C         G               F
The Gulf, the gulf of Araby



🎸 Verse :
               C                   G                      F
Well, we would plough and part the earth to bring you home
    C                G              F
And harvest every miracle ever known
            G                     F
And if they laid out all the things
             G                F
That these ten years want to bring
         G              F
We would gladly give them up
G                      F
To bring you back to us
            C                    F
O, there is nothing we would not give
   G               F
To kiss you and to believe we could take what is
C
what is
G
what is
N.C.
To what can never be

🎸 Refrain:
C                 G
One man of seventy whispers "not free yet"
F
Two neighbors who make up knee-deep in their dead
C                    G
Three tyrants grab the reins in the summer's heat
F
Four prisoners lost in the fallacy
C
Five, oh I'm alive
G
And six
I'm dead inside
    F
And seven more days to shake at the great divide
