James Keelaghan - My Blood




INTRO: G   Em   Am   C   G   Em   Am   D   G

                                              Em
There are people in the world tonight who are weeping 'cause they're glad
      Am                                                C
Their war songs all are happy, their love songs all are sad
G                                   Em
People ache and then be there, then always wish them well
        Am                                 D                 G
They'll love you like a brother back, then fight amongst themselves

CHORUS:
         Em       Bm                    Am
And it's my blood running through their rivers
Em       Bm                    Am
My blood running through their pains
C        Dsus4           G              C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
Am       C                     Em   C   G
My blood washing through their veins______


                                        Em
They always drink the parting glass and leave the shamrock shores
       Am                                                 C
That's why you find them flocking home with open arms and doors
     G                              Em
They miss their native country like mothers miss their sons
        Am                                D              G
They'll sing all night of going back, but that day never comes


CHORUS:
         Em       Bm                    Am
And it's my blood running through their rivers
Em       Bm                    Am
My blood running through their pains
C        Dsus4           G              C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
Am       C                     Em   C   G
My blood washing through their veins______


INSTRUMENTAL: G   Em   Am   C   G   Em   Am   D   G


CHORUS:
         Em       Bm                    Am
And it's my blood running through their rivers
Em       Bm                    Am
My blood running through their pains
C        Dsus4           G              C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
Am       C                     Em   C   G
My blood washing through their veins______


                                     Em
Their loving land was never mine, to missing call my own
      Am                                            C
Their histories and struggles are not the ones I've known
         G                                      Em
But I've worn their scars with pride enough and winced with pain they felt
    Am                                        D                      G
And rant and cried with the busted ones, with each hand they've been dealt


CHORUS:
         Em       Bm                    Am
And it's my blood running through their rivers
Em       Bm                    Am
My blood running through their pains
C        Dsus4           G              C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
Am       C                     Em   C
My blood washing through their veins___


CHORUS:
Em       Bm                    Am
My blood running through their rivers
Em       Bm                    Am
My blood running through their pains
C        Dsus4           G              C
My blood mixing with the whiskey in the jar
Am       C                     Em   C   G
My blood washing through their veins______
