Down there
                         G
The floodlights stood ancient
    D                Am7     Dadd11/A
And dugouts glistened
Am7                        G
Dropped by the county in January
   D                   Am7   Am7/B
My heart grew thickened
C                    Em
O’Moore Park stood a shadow
           D             Am7     Am7/B
From where I was drilling
C                      G
Same O’Moores who were slaughtered

By Cosby’s willing

Verse 2:
Am7                   G
Mullaghmast, where he lured them
      D               Am7
To a feast so wicked
Am7 G              D             Am7  Am7/B
1578, New Year was just beginning
C               Em              D           Am7  Am7/B
400 men in the cold ground were daffodillin’
C                           G
The stand looks down on me stainless
        D              Fmaj7      G Am7
And the memory quickens

Verse 3:
   Am7                        G
My auld pair went west out to Texas
     D                 Am7 Dadd11/A
When work was thinning
Am7                           G
Came home and raised us by Father Brown’s
    D                 Am7  Am7/B
We lived for the pitch
C                        Em
Hypocrites all of them living that say
    D                Am7
The place is full up
                                      Am7/B
And we can go anywhere but they can’t come here
C                           G
They’d shoot holes in them boats and leave
    D                 F
The kids die swimming
Just watch
                     G
The kids die swimming

A                                Dm
At ten o’clock I heard the sound
A                           Dm
Of people flooding into town
A                                  Dm
Hopped the gate, the stars were out
A                             Dm
Running laps of Father Brown’s
