Aisling chords by Christy Moore

Chords with lyrics

A minorAm

 C majorC
See the bright new moon is rising,
 G+G
Above the land of black and green
 C majorC
Hear the rebels voices calling,
  C majorC
I will not die 'till you bury me

   C majorC
The aunt upstairs in the bed she is calling,
 G+G
Why has he forsaken me
  C majorC
Faded pictures in the hallway,
  C majorC
Which one of them brown ghosts is he

 C majorC
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
 G+G
Curse the spade and curse the plough
 C majorC
I've counted years and weeks and days,
    C majorC
And I wish to God I was with you now

 FF
Fare thee well me black-haired diamond,
 G+G
Fare thee well me own Aisling
 FF
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
 C majorC
Far across the grey north sea

     G+G
And the wind it blows from the North and South,
 G+G
To the East And to the West
  G+G
I will be like the wind my love,
  C majorC
For I will know no rest 'till I return to thee

A minorAm
1, 2, 3 telegraph poles,
  A minorAm
Standing on the cold black road
The night is fading into morning,
 A minorAm
Give us a drop of your sweet poitin

   A minorAm
The rain was lashing - the sun was rising,
   A minorAm
The wind was howling through the trees
The madness from the mountains crawling,
   A minorAm
When I saw you first my own Aisling

 C majorC
Bless the wind that shakes the barley,
 G+G
Curse the spade and curse the plough
 C majorC
I've counted years and weeks and days,
    C majorC
And I wish to God I was with you now

 FF
Fare thee well me black-haired diamond,
 G+G
Fare thee well me own Aisling
 FF
At night fond dreams of you still haunt me,
 C majorC
Far across the grey north sea

Lots of Love,

Bart
